Hell yes Barry, go for it! Love the enthusiasm and persistence.

CCangia - Good luck; keep us apprised of your chord changes!

I learned the first riff from Muddy Waters', Baby Please Don't Go (on GT Songs page) last night. Spent about 3 hours on it and I am super-stoked. When I watched the video the first time, I thought "I'm not going to be able to get that down", but then I DID and it actually sounded like Blues Guitar!!

Can't stop to celebrate too much, taking a deep breath and getting back to work. Soooooo much to learn.

Going to work on the Guitar1 solo piece tonight.

Still have Tutorial 6 and 7 to get through to finish Fundamentals 2 course, but I have been spending 30-45 minutes at a time going through prior lessons to practice earlier skills (mostly Barre Chord to Open Chord and 6th-string root to 5th-string root transitions) before I move too far into Minor Scales (Tutorial 6).

My biggest weakness right now (aside from Barre Chord transitions) is definitely rhythm and timing - going to start working with a metronome and playing along with "the band" to develop better rhythm and timing.
