what mod are you in? the practice assistant tells you, whatever chords have been covered so far. the ones you had the most trouble with do again and again. i just practice all of them.

I tend to take long breaks between modules. Often a few months. Gives me a chance to practise what I have learnt. I also set aside weeks where I don’t bother doing any of the practise exercises and just play songs.

It is just me or in the “Module 4 Practice”, in the song sections, the first song is right off the bat too fast?
Changing from Em to Dm at that speed feels impossible.

I’m getting close to the end of grade 2 and have come across MAYBE one song with D minor in it. Not saying you shouldn’t practice it, but it may be better to just wait until it comes up in a song you really like and want to learn.
I am referring to Grade 1 Module 4 Practice. The last video has the Routine which we can set as active. In that routine, after the first 10 minutes of practice and strumming, comes rhe song section. I am talking about that.
Give it a week and your mindset may change to - oh, this is possible. People who’ve heard me play the guitar oke songs for the 1st time marvel at how quickly progress can be after a week or 2. I spent 1hr a day at that stage.
Arctic Monkeys - 505
Tom Waits - Chocolate Jesus
Edwyn Collins - (I’ve Never Met) A Girl Like You
I hope that helps.

I’m SO GLAD I found this thread, because I was finding myself in a similar headspace. Doing great on my one minute changes, but I felt like I needed to master at least ONE song before moving on. Tried playing 505, kept screwing up, and got discouraged. But this thread helped me realize that I don’t have to “master” anything this early on. It’ll all come together as it comes together.
It was very comforting to read all of these replies. I think I’m ready to jump into Module 5 after all!
