Just wanted to say learning Wonderwall in this module was an absolute game changer for my playing. I know that the 16th strumming is talked about more in the intermediate course, but I was DETERMINED to learn the strumming pattern to make this song sound the way it should and the feeling I got when I finally nailed it is indescribable. I spent a few hours over the weekend on JUST that song and, when I decided to take a break and practice some of the songs from grade 1, I noticed I had improved in both my strumming and chord changes (even though the grade 1 songs donāt use the āstuckā chords). Anyway, all of that to reinforce that practicing songs really is the way to go if you want to get better (or, suck less, which is a term Iāve recently adopted ). After all, isnāt the reason weāre learning all of this is so we can play songs?

Hi everyone, what is your approach when it comes to pass to the next module? I can play play 2 songs with 3/4 stuck chords, play the e minor scale at 120 bpm, and I have nearly mastered the wish you were here riff. But Iām still practicing C and G chord changes, which I can do 60 a minute but when it comes to play a song every time I have to play C is far from perfect. Should I keep learning new stuff and adding more things to the pile or try to master the basics before I learn anything new?
Carlos,
In my opinion, youāre ready to continue. Just keep practicing the C-G change as you continue. Youāll be using that chord change alot in your guitar journey, so this shouldnāt be a problem.
Congratulations!
Yes.
Learn a disciplined method so you always have something solid to build on. Ideally, alternate picking if you are now using that technique.
Either Stuck 3&4 or open or a combination is good.
