Notes are still going well; consistency improving with less mistakes. When I do make a mistake I'm still in the habit of starting over instead of being able to just plough on. I want to improve that.
Chords - the simplified three string chords are fine and I play those to cheer myself up. Working on the four-string versions and pushing my dodgy index finger gently. Progress is going to be slower than the notes.
The guidance says two weeks for Session 2 and, a week and a half in, I think that's about right. I should be moving on to Session 3 this weekend but we're away so I think I'll leave it an extra week (if I can stand another week of playing Jingle Bells!) rather than try and fit the new session in around work.
I currently only have the standard course, though I have downloaded the Bonus Workshops course book and am using it. I'm debating whether to get the Bonus Workshops or the Song Hits to accompany the course. From the book, the bonus workshops look like 'more of the same'. Additional exercises and songs in the same style (style = "no rights fee due" from what I can tell...). I'm tempted to get the Song Hits instead. It says that there are songs included matched to each session's skill level, so you don't have to wait till you're a Session 15 expert before you can start playing them. I think it would be nice to learn more modern, famous songs alongside those included in the sessions...
