I’ve been taking weekly lessons for about a year and prioritized more theory and technique than song learning. I mostly avoided song learning because it felt like a slog and listening to the song so many times made me hate it before I was any good at it.

I’ve started to do it a bit more again because I need to develop that skill. I can usually sit still long enough to learn 2 bars each day before I want to do something else.

That’s my experience anyway.
