    Andrew the search function is so much better! One thing.. when you drop down to choose blues/pop etc you can’t then reset back to all again (unless I missed something). It’s not a problem as I just reloaded the page from the menu ..

    I have a general question. I can pick the melody notes with my thumb. But in the verse I’m using my ring finger.. it’s a lot clearer /cleaner. I was just wondering if this is a bad habit to get into or if I should continue with what works…

    I just wanted to give an update and say thanks 🙂 I’ve been a member for a couple of weeks+ now. When I first signed up I did not fully understand the value of all the tools/support.

    The little tips such as striking the fret board with your thumb transform the sound and in a million years I would not have learnt that (even from YouTube).

    My biggest oversight was the tool for looping the bars (online tab player). I spent most of the day trying to work out from the video the first two bars of the verse. I just couldn’t get it (even thought it was explained thoroughly). I sat down for 5 minutes this evening and looped those bars at 50% and i understood exactly the timing after that.

    Honestly I’m completely out of my depth with this arrangement but I actually believe I can learn it with enough determination and the tools/tips/lessons provided.

    Thanks for everything. Greatly appreciated.

    That’s amazing Andrew thanks.

    I’m stuck on the intro though I can’t work out the pattern and if your muting, chucking or tapping. It sounds so good I have to learn it 🙂

    Sorry to be a pain but if you could just explain the intro pattern.. thank you.

    Hi Andrew,

    Thanks for taking the time tobwrote back to me! I’ve had a good look through the courses and content and you’ve created an amazing site so congrats on that! I have a couple of questions.

    1. I’m going to start at the beginning as recommended. I was going to skip the beginner songs but in all honesty I can see it’s a required building block. I’m just not sure if you need to learn them all to progress to the next level… would I be missing out if I did not learn them all…

    2. I’m interested in the finger picking course and can see it’s divided into 3 levels. Does that mean once I’ve completed the beginner module I progress to the next level or is it a matter of waiting until I’ve used those skills in songs and then return to the next module.

    I’m just trying to work out how to structure my learning rather than trying to learn ‘I’m Yours which to be honest is not going well haha
