I think I’m slowly making my way to a kinda sorta intermediate guitar player? I take a lot less time learning songs that don’t have any special tricky bits, and easy chord progressions and strumming patterns I get almost immediately, including singing. Things that were too difficult half a year ago are now a lot easier, like the riff for Jolene. I have a few more difficult songs in my repertoire now, like Loosing my Religion or Sweet Baby James, and there are a lot more songs I can now actually perform and feel while playing. I have a few (mostly German) songs where I either mashed two different youtube versions together to create a better version, or went ahead and found my own way of playing it altogether. And I have played for and with others enough to not be afraid of it anymore. It certainly feels more like I’m actually making music now, instead of just learning the guitar.
