@Prof_Thunder Hi Ian and thank you for the kind words 
Iām glad that you found my progress and upgrade project inspiring, as both of those were inspired by others here in this great community. Justinās a phenomenal teacher, and everyone here is extremely helpful and supportive which makes learning & growing a real pleasure.
That being said, each new grade/module/song feels like taking a few steps back before I break through, so donāt be discouraged if you ever feel that way yourself. Itās just the cycle of growth (start learning something difficult, think youāll never be good at it, then get really good at it with time and practice, learn something new thatās more challenging, think itās impossible, get better at it, and so on) 
Thatās a nice milestone to have for yourself (getting a new guitar when youāre into Grade 2), as others have pointed out to me, donāt feel that you need to get a new guitar to sound better as in the early stages thatās mostly dependent on growing skill proficiency rather than gear. However, if youāre a tinkerer/collector like me, then go ahead and reward yourself with a new guitar when you feel the urge and enjoy modding your old one. I learned a lot about guitars from that upgrade project and might still change some things with that older Squier in the future 
I just posted a new recording today, not my greatest performance, but itās a new milestone to be celebrated and improved upon in my continued practice.
Keep on rocking my friend, and I look forward to seeing your future song recordings if you choose to share those with the community (please @mention me if you do)
@Digger72 Hey Stephen, thank you for the positive feedback That was probably the best āfeelingā song recording Iāve done so far, as you noticed with my head bobbing
Much appreciated!
