Really good at chord shapes and moving them up & down the neck. Not great yet, but pretty good.
And that’s the end of it. I’m getting better at moving chord shapes, but I seem to be getting worse at learning new songs.
But sometimes, when I move those chord shapes, I make music that sounds good to me!
I read the thread title and thought “that’s gotta be Joe!” 
I love reading your threads, I hope you don’t ever stop sharing your philosophies with us 
Thank you very much! I’ve always had a deep appreciation for people with low standards.
Those could be song lyrics…
Sounds kinda like, “I’ve got friends in low places”…
Well, you play banjo & you seem to have a head for lyrics. 
I hope to hear something from you along the lines like “High Times & Low Standards.” As in most country songs, there’s a woman involved and a broken-hearted barfly.
