Well, week two with the Study Buddy and keeping on track. I think this might actually work!
Had some issues with Lesson 2, rhythmically. Specifically, at the end where it ends on the I chord on the first beat of the last measure. Getting my fingers to move from the V chord to the I chord quick enough to stick it was hard work, but I think I managed a reasonable attempt.
Lesson 2
Lesson three was unexpectedly challenging, since it was so sparse. The "itch" to actually play something made me push the beat and come in early, or lag and come in late. Hit the wrong chord more than a few times while practicing. Finally played an almost perfect take, only to realize I hadn't armed the track, and it didn't record.
Finally got it done, though, and here for your consideration... be kind, I'm old.
Lesson 3
We will reconvene in two weeks for lesson 4 and 5.
Equipment:
Lesson 2 was played using the neck position pickup on an Epiphone AlleyKat, directly into a Tascam 2488.
Lesson 3 was played with the '85 Fender Strat, neck position, directly into the Tascam 2488.
