I have been practicing Linus and Lucy since it came out. I can do part 1 and 2 with great difficulty but now I remember both hands part for the 2 sections. Even though I am working on it every other day my progression is just so slow. It will take me a year at least before I get something decent.To get that thumb running all the time is very challenging.

I just watched again the play through from Neil. What a fantastic player he is. He just goes through those quick changes with those crazy chords like if he was playing a Horse with no Name and it is the same for all the songs we have seen him play. He is such an inspiration. It is easy to give up before you get the critical mass of a song, so when I am in a down period on a song I just watch the play through and I am up again.

So I was just curious to know if anybody else was enjoying suffering on Linus and Lucy?

Nope. Too many others in the pipeline.

When I get my other guitar back I'm going to tune it Drop D and use it for those lessons. I play too much in standard tuning to be changing all the time. That's when I'll go after L & L.

:lol: That's more or less what I had in mind answering when I read the title ... although ... I gave myself four years to learn CG, but right now I think I'll manage in ... one. I try to practice at least for a few minutes every day. I already can play the Intro and part A ... okay the fun is about to begin ... maybe two years to go ;)

I tried it for a few days and had a lot of fun listening to it tranform from noise to something I could almost recognise, but alas I found it too difficult to play on my spare nylon string guitar. I just bought a 3rd guitar so I can play Open D, Open G and DADGAD on one guitar. I'll take it up after I get stink out of "The Fisherman" (in a few years).

Andy, I know it is a bit of pain to change the tuning. I am fortunate because I have a tuner on my guitar, so I do not have to pull out anything to change my tuning. I am sure that in about 10 years I will be able to do it by ear. That`ll be the day :)
