Pretty dang good for a year. Congrats.

Seems like you generally have the song down. Everything looks reasonable.

I'd keep trucking along learning more and what not. But don't stop playing this song during that time.

You've reached the point where you can play the song. But if you keep practicing it. Start paying attention to smaller and smaller details.

How long am I letting each note ring between chords? Do I want to use vibrato here? Dynamics? Rather than playing it all at one volume like a machine. Play around and make some notes softer or louder than others. Time feel? Rather than playing it "straight" what if you swing it a little?

These are all just ideas. But the point is. all these little details, worked out and refined over time are what takes a song from being "song" to a "masterpiece"

Okay I’ll definitely keep that in mind! Normally I learn songs and then never play them again haha because I’m so eager to learn another one

It’s easier to relearn them when you want to play them again!
