For this week I will not be posting a video since I have come to find out that every time I post a video I tend to rest on my laurels. I have made a lot of progress in terms of understanding the chord sequence and I feel i could play the entire song if I just follow that chord sequence but that's just the half of it according to the videos I have used to learn this. The second part is getting the strumming down, I have made some progress toward this but like the videos say this is the most difficult part of playing this particular song. I think my next step is to go back and look at some website that have a visual on how to do this and use those to learn the strumming because as much as I watch the three videos I use to learn the song I get very lost in the strumming.
Down, Down, Down, Up, Down, Up Down, seems like I am playing an old school nintendo game and I want extra lives. But I digress, after these few weeks I have found that I'm very proud of the little progress I have made because I do feel confident I will be able to play some version of this song by next week which I would of never imagined.

Strumming sounds hard! My dad taught himself how to play guitar when he was 13 and he didn't have YouTube! I have no idea how he accomplished that. I didn't know that you have to strum in a specific pattern when playing, but I guess that makes sense. That's awesome that you feel like you're making progress. It's what we need to keep moving forward sometimes.
