    I can't wait to try it.

    Thank you!

    Thanks for those suggestions. I'll have a look at them. I figured that the length of the song really lowered the bar for me. It's sounds pretty good so far. I like how the lessons are laid out.

    After careful consideration, and the fact that this song is 1:53, I figured it would be the best one to start first.

    I must admit that the 'slow' demo was about twice as fast as I could play it. Which is OK. I don't read much tab so this was good practice to count each beat out and play the notes with the correct rhythm.

    I quit smoking over 13 years ago but for some reason I feel like hanging a cigarette from my mouth while I play... could it be the spirit of Django! lol

    I'm probably just talking to myself here but I just wanted to leave some bread crumbs to see where I've been so can have the motivation to work harder when the songs become more difficult.

    You could certainly try the melody. You could attempt the rest as well, just remember to play S-L-O-W-L-Y (as slow as you have to go to hit all the notes cleanly without stopping) and with metronome. Good luck!
    Thanks Christiaan, I just don't want to bite off more than I can chew. I was not sure if there was an order of complexity in this list of songs.

    I really like this song. Is it too much for a beginner to try?
