Introductory Guitar Part 3 (Guitar Lesson)

Why are so many of the progress bars allowing the lesson to end. Yet only showing 96% plus or minus 3% and are not completing the lesson with a 100% before moving on to the next lesson in the que. I have had to replay some many times and they still never reflect the 100% complete. Am I being anal about something that doesn't actually matter. I've wasted a lot of time trying to make sure my progress report shows the 100% for each of the Video's I have watched Is it the same when we are forced to use the manual feature in order to show our results. I know these are low level lessons and won't matter much once were able to move beyond Beginner and into the higher levels of learning I just feel its dis respectful not to have, Shown ones full attention for all the Videos after all it took as much effort and planning to create the low level Video's as it does for all of them. Yes maybe I'm prolonging my progress by watching (like videos) Beginner Series Videos from several different Instructors yes its the same material but presented differently by each of the Instructors I have watched and yet I have learned many little tips they each shared and which I have enjoyed all of them for their differences. To find the slight changes and tips of each would take a great deal of time to compile all the detailed information of each and to then make one Video that has it all when its obvious they will most likely present the same info. in their own time. By watching several instructors I did like them all a few more so than others but I can tell they're all very competent and all have enjoyable personalities. Thanks for listening I hope my input helps someone.

I am really enjoying this series. Fine tuning some of my beginner skills and filling in gaps in my early education. I have noted a huge improvement in my rhythm after doing just Part 1 and Part 2. I plan to check out your rhythm course after completing this 5 part series.

Thanks for the lessons, I'm really enjoying them, I find them very helpful. I am curious about the guitar your playing in the videos, I can't make out the name on the head stock. Who is the mfg. and which model is it.

Probably should have asked this before now. However, I'm interested in knowing what your recommendation is for the amount of time to spend practicing. How long, how frequently, and what to focus on? I played in high school, now over 42 years ago. Seems a lifetime. Anyway, I lean red most of the chords back then, and to my absolute amazement, ALL of them seem to have come back with very little effort. Some of the more difficult chords are presenting challenges, but I admit I din;t not learn them well back then, so they are not recalling well now. What is clear to me is that what you truly learn, even if you do not master it (because I was never a guitar master) you will never forget it. Back then, I did not practice with any degree of regimen or discipline. I don't want to repeat those mistakes now. Now I have the time, and the ability to concentrate. But I have no idea what level of devotion will make it happen. Do I need to give it an hour? 30 minutes? 1.5 hours? Should I practice, twice a day? What is best? When did you begin to see improvement? What was your training regimen? Thanks-Dave
