....what just happened - so I'll tell you....
About a week ago I was working to play "Down on the corner" by CCR - and couldn't get it - I tried and tried and then I gave up and said to myself, I'd try it another day....
Today I was looking up my book to see what to learn next after I mastered "Just the way you are" by Bruno Mars - on this song I'm working actually but couldn't get the strum pattern sound right....
As I was looking in my songbook (I made it up myself - has all the songs in it I want to learn) I came across "Down on the corner" and couldn't resist to give it another try - and suddenly I played it and coult even sing with the chords....
Couldn't believe it, was very happy and just a second later - as if somebody had turned a switch in my head - the strum pattern for the second song "fell into place"....
But I don't think it's a miracle - its just the work paying off.....
So if you seem to reach a plateau in learning keep up - the breakthrough will come surely (so did mine today)....
I don't want to show off - I'm still a beginner with lots of buzzing strings and stuff, but today I was so happy that I didn't give up practising because I had a few days where nothing sounded right....
Just wanted to share my happyness - and maybe I can encourage someone else who has the "plateau-problem" too....
Thanks for reading
