Very interesting Kris,
I am impressed with how much you've got down in so few days, maybe it would be good (for us students) to know approximately how many hours you've clocked up as you go along. I'm not trying to teach my granny how to suck eggs but hopefully, this will help others who are following in the shadows I usually learn one bar/lick at a time, not up to speed but to get it into my fingers. What also needs work, is the transition from one bar/lick to the next. Trying to put the licks together after learning them can also be a skill in itself. I usually do 1: 1&2: 2&3: 3&4: 4&5: At this point I usually practise all five bars/licks together for a while then go 5&6: 6&7 etc. Again, not up to speed but into my fingers. I then work on building speed on the whole piece, this is where you really find your weak spots that need isolating and working on, mine are usually chordal parts Anyway, keep up the good work, let's hope this helps and encourages others to enter the world of GMC and not be so shy at displaying their struggles.

What do you think has been most challenging about learning it so far?
As I understand there are many challenges but if you had to pick one. |

That is brilliant progress Kris, you are another level buddy.
Any idea how many hours you've clocked up so far? -------------------- SEE MY GMC CERTIFICATE “Success is not obtained overnight.

Great thread Kris! It's super useful to witness "the process" of a pro player.
No one, no matter how good they are, learns and absorbs something new instantly. Especially if it's a style/genre/technique that they are not that familiar with. My only suggestion for anyone attempting this type of challenge is to listen to a lot of the style. In this case - hot country lead guitar. It will really help in understanding the "feel" and where the accents are placed within the music in general. A great place to start would be Brent Mason on any Alan Jackson and George Strait records. This post has been edited by klasaine: Jan 25 2021, 05:03 PM -------------------- - Ken Lasaine

Thanks Phil! My estimate would be around 15 hours. Very impressive buddy. Obviously we have to remember the Pareto principle here, (80% of results come from 20% of the time, then the last twenty percent of results takes 80% of the time), I'm looking forward watching this one grow.
