sOcks, you might practice some simple alternate thumb picking patterns to get those down. I would not divide your thinking
into melody, harmony, and bass line as far as technically learning to play something (you'll be lost). Save a bit of that for
expressing yourself musically more and more as you learn a piece (which may involve which notes to accent, play louder,
where to use timing variations, where to change the tone, etc.).
