Another lesson, another pattern

I have another pattern to learn from Thursday's lesson (to sing with Amazing Grace) but he only wrote the pattern for one chord down, expecting me to remember the same pattern but applying them to different chords. That was fine for A, but for baby G, it's not working out so well. So, I practiced the different patterns to the extent that I could, and then worked on the blues chords he gave me to learn the lesson before and E minor that he added at this last lesson. My husband gave me the E major chord and taught me how to strum the start of a song.

I am going to ask him to please write it all down in the book for me. My thyroid disease makes my memory fuzzy so what I remember at the lesson doesn't all stick with me a few hours later.

What is probably going to happy is I'll take lessons from this man at the music store for another month and then have my husband teach me himself. He's capable of it. I just wasn't sure if he'd be able to teach me patiently and I'd be able to listen to him patiently. You know, the whole "obey" thing is a foreign concept to me.

My next lesson is tomorrow though so I have some more practice to do.
