    Just updated the comment, I tried to put an embedded link but it didn't work...now there should be the video 😂😂😂😂
    Extra points for really rocking out to this!! :ROFLMAO:
    That was really good already! If you would like to challenge yourself a bit more try the same strumming pattern they use in the song! :)

    This is a great start, Ari, and your strumming is keeping time with the background music, which is harder than most people think. I did notice, however, that you have a habit of pulling the thicker strings sharp when you're fretting the chords. Try to work on just pressing DOWN to the fretboard and not also pulling in. That tends to draw the notes a little sharp, which affects how the chord sounds. Some of those chords can be challenging, though (that F/F# barre chord is one of the hardest things for new players to get!), and you GOT IT, so good for you!

    Thank you Ed!! You are 100℅ right, I noticed that too while playing and I'm trying to work on that. I feel like it happens when I have to change fast (well, fast for me at the moment 😂) in particular. Again, thank you for your feedback 🖤
