Hi LivesForever,
Welcome aboard. I know what a baby does to your time. I'm glad you're finding a little time to play.
Don't worry about how fast you're going. The rest of us are going slowly too. I think part of that is the nature of the instrument. It can't be learned overnight no matter what some quick money website wants to promise. I also think that people who have chosen to learn from this type of book have a willingness to work on that foundational stuff. I like knowing I'm learning the skills I will need to pick up anything else quickly like you are doing with the bluegrass.
Bluegrass moves fast and if you're keeping up and using what you've learned you're doing great. I wish I could find a regular jam near me.
Volume 2 gets into ear training. It suggests starting with children's songs due to their simplicity and familiarity. It would also be fun for someone with a baby to know some of those so you can play along with your child's first attempts at singing.
