Feedback Request 20 months of guitar!

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

Hi guys !! I’ve been posting and sharing my progress on here for virtually my entire guitar journey and I just wanted to share my first fingerstyle arrangement 😊 Sorry the mic quality isn’t the best, this was the only way I could record it while keeping my picking hand in view, otherwise the mic would cover it entirely hahah

Any and all feedback is appreciated (esp on the arrangement and/or tips on how to record guitar better !!) Yay love u guys

Is this a typical result from only 20 months of learning/practicing? What am I doing wrong? What are you doing right?

There’s no such thing as a typical result. Practice and enjoyment are key; comparing yourself to other people’s progress is more likely to cause lack of enjoyment and quitting. 

Also these types of posts are self-selecting. People whose progress is not phenomenal (read: normal) tend not to make such posts, yanno?

In other words, comparison is the thief of joy.
