Decking your cousin Kenny for kicking your cat? Bad, and also good. Decking the Halls with three thrilling flatpicking guitar solos? GOOD! Let's start with basic melody, add some scale notes, then let Granny's eggnog lift us up the neck a bit.

    The pinky thing goes away, I promise. Took me about three months.

    Count it out loud. Everyone says it and everyone's right.

    You're not behind. Two weeks on a lesson like this is normal and healthy.

    Not just you. I still count this one out loud and I've been at it four years.

    There's a slower jam track under the resources tab on this lesson, worth grabbing.
