Grade me please.

Nobody can tell you how your coming along without looking at your fingers... !

Secondly, you dont need anyone to tell you if you're doing good or not...

Now, I'm only giving my opinion here:

Quit taking lessons for about 3 monthes, just work on you're own things, teach yourself techniques, and play around with the things you know. You've been taking lessons long enough to know how to play. Let your skill grow with your own lessons. Conecentrate on what you feel you are not doing right, and fix it your own way!

.......... thats what I do would do if I knew what I know now, when I was younger.

Kaidow (sorry if that's wrong)

More important, how do YOU think you are doing? With that song, are the chord changes really fluent and do you hit them right each time? Is your timing good? (if you don't know, go get a metronome and play along with that at a nice steady tempo, say 100bpm).

How much practice time do you allocate a night / week.

I wouldn't give up on your teacher yet, but one question. Do you, and therefore your teacher, know what you want to get out of this?

That's important, tell your teacher exactly what your goals are.

It really doesn't matter what anyone on here thinks of your playing at all.

Enjoy it!

Naw, I give ya a C. Keep it up.

I tend to disagree, if you have someone who can teach you and you have the resources to pay them right, lessons can help you progress much faster than not. You can avoid a lot of pitfalls, dodge a lot of technique problems if you correct them early, etc. And it's not like lessons ever hurt anyone. You want to learn more? So use other resources in addition to your lesson material, no harm done. You can even take that material to your teacher, often times they'll be able to help you work through it.

I say if opportunity knocks, let it in! Switch teachers until you get one that's working with you and helping you progress consistently, but no matter what, don't forget the most important factor in the equation is your own work ethic.

Good point Undercat!

Hey, I know that this is off-topic, but lord ariez, do you really live in saskatoon, and if so, did you ever hear of a song by the guess who called "runnin' back to saskatoon"?

hahahah yes I do really live in Saskatoon, and have heard the song many times :)

Radio stations love playing that song. But I can't say I'm a big fan of it.

i say just give yourself a grade if you think your doing good then your doing good no matter what people say
