Hi Steve

Dont rush it! Work at your own pace and be realistic in your goals. If your just starting out go back over lessons as many times as it takes to build that beginner foundation and minimize bad habits. The beauty of the on-demand platform is you won't miss out; it'll always be there. Find some songs that tie into the lessons (though I'll admit one criticism I do have of GT is I would love to see the GT staff make song recommendations in the lessons). But a google search of best songs using whatever chords or techniques will almost certainly return a list of something that may interest you. If it's just a lick or opening riff find out what that is and learn. Then take it a step further and find out what it is about that riff or lick you like and where it came from and learn that next.
