A year ago, I took the plunge and decided to try learning my favorite acoustic piece. It's a very challenging piece and for 30+ years I just deemed it "out of my reach".

I found an approximate tab for it and I stumbled upon a pretty close video tutorial. I combined those together with "The Amazing Slow Downer" and wrote out what I feel is the right tab.

I then set out to learn it. It took me about two months to master it. I did about 45 minutes every single day, adding a phrase once I mastered everything beforehand.

Since then, I found my approach slow but successful. I've used it for another such song, then another.

So, now I am working on a few more and they are (as is typical with me) slow but steady progress. I definitely take the tortoise approach in the studying race.
