I have always got on better with the theory side of things rather than the practical side, and as a result I'm really quite interested in music theory (I've just sat the ABRSM Grade 5 Music Theory exam just for the hell of it, still waiting for my results!). I have ploughed through the first fundamentals stage, as I already knew all the chords (with the exception of the B chord, I had to google that one as it's not something that has gome up in previous beginners courses I've done).
I'm shortly going to work my way through the fundamentals stage 2. I've done a lot of the music theory stuff before and can read music but not done 12 bar blues stuff or an awful lot of barre chords though so that should be interesting. Then I think I might try out the Country stage, I like me a bit of Cash!
My biggest weakness is switching between chords smoothly, quite often I'll hesitate and/or fluff it up in a panic trying to keep pace with the metronome. Working on forcing my changes! So I still have a lot of work to do with practicing my chord changes, and this is where I'm hoping the song section will keep me interested.
Oh, I am a bit verbose as well, so apologies for all the waffle. I shall go now..... Hope to venture across many of you on the site in the near future!
