This is my latest update and as expected, things are not getting easier. Sophia was not able to join me this week because she was not ready for this so hopefully she can get back at it this week. I found that when I was playing around with the different cords and not strumming I was moving along fairly smoothly. As soon as I started strumming all my coordination seemed to go out the window.

There are times when I think I am making progress and then there are times when this task looks unattainable. Following this video I found an instructional video for “playing the easiest guitar song in the world”. Well, it was not that easy. I will admit that the cords and the rhythm were quite easy but I found the strumming pattern difficult. I decided to try to get the strumming pattern down without worrying about the cords, this helped but I still was unable to master it. As soon as I added the cords I basically gave up. I decided that that would be for another day. I think my plan is to continue with the basic strumming patterns and trying to get quicker and smooth with my transitions going forward. Thanks for reading and watching!
