  Challenge: Struggles – #1 Finger picking
  #2 Timing
  #3 Keeping that G open string ringing the right way
  #4 Twisted fingers, need to have the right fingering from the C to the G chord
  otherwise it srews the 2 last chords.
  #5 Keeping it steady because she sings 4 verses before going to the chorus.
  
  Ok that is enough struggles for one day lol

  Congrats, Andre. You can finger pick. Sounds great on the mini Taylor and the track you put together sounds professional. Happy birthday to you and Joe!
