Damn. Wish you a quick recovery, man. Good luck.

I'm having beginner lessons at the moment. My teacher sits in front of me and look at me. Hands positioning, how I press the notes (he notices when I don't press near the fret), upstrokes/downstrokes and why in that particular time... He is there for me and not the opposite. From what you say I think you were unlucky with your teacher. About the money, playing and learning music is not that cheap. Here in Italy music lessons usually cost a bit more than lessons to help school boys with their homework, to give you a clue.

Here it is, the last one. I swear.

I've got time for just one more run...

@@MaZtoR Take your time and then come back stronger. Well, many of us would not even try playing in your situation. You're already great.

Those slides with the open E string work better if I detune my strings a little and strum harder. It sounds bad but awkwardly RS recognizes more often. And a little improvement at MC rhythm.
