After the assessment time for my eighteenth month (since starting my learning log), it’s now planning time for my Beginner Guitar Course [Classic] (and Beginner Guitar Course Grades 1 and 2) consolidation. Although I don’t want to put a time frame to it, I want to put a defined scope to it, so I can consider wrapping it up when everything in the list is covered.
As prior to starting Justin Guitar lessons I had been using other resources, I want to include them in the consolidation game (at a similar level of where I was at before making Justin Guitar my main learning resource).
Although I didn’t officially finish my Stage 9 of the Beginner Guitar Course [Classic] till the end of October, I had been informally doing some of the consolidation items listed below and completed some of them.
