Just trying to inject some life into this community beyond NGD post.
What techniques are you struggling with right now? What does your practice routine look like for improving that skill? Any advice you want to give to the other players on here?

I’m learning Cosmic Square Dance to work on accompanying myself.
I wish my fingertips weren’t so pudgy. Also the coordination. Much easier on a piano where syncopation is often split between two hands. On guitar I have to think of it as the low E and A strings are the bass and played by the thumb pick, and the rest of the strings are the melody and each one gets a picking finger. High E is played by my pinky, B ring finger, etc.
Of course, being a guitar you have to break this rule and occasionally share the D string with the E and A on the bass (and thumbpick)
It’s a lot to get my head around but I’ll get there.
