Justin mentioned “it takes years but you’re never gonna get there if you don’t start”
Reminds me of the Chinese proverb: “The best time to plant a tree was 20 years ago. The second best time is now”

I’ve never transcribed anything before and it was so rewarding - it was tricky but really fun
First off, love the lessons. I’ve made more progress in the last 7 months than I ever thought possible.
Noticed that 5 of the 6 songs suggested for transcribing (all but song #2) have links in the title that take you to a Justin tutorial video telling you what the chords to the song are. I guess there is a bit of self discipline required here.
Just wondering if that was an oversight or intentional?
I know this question was a few moths ago. I have found that using good headphones or in my case really good ear buds helped me isolate individual sounds in songs much easier.

That experience was great! 
I ve made Polly from Nirvana in my 1 hour transcribing. I ve found it very easy to find the chord progressions and all the chords and i ve tried to find also the strumming patterns and all the embellishments of the song. That part wasn’t going so well. 
Justin said to not try to find the embellishments and the details… But i had a lot of time to spend.
Can someone please tell me what to do? Are there any lessons on transcribing in the near future that are showing how to find the strumming patterns/embellishments/ details of the a song or to try this alone?
Thanks a lot!
