Session 17 isn't too far off for me, but as @Eracer_Team-DougH says, I find myself 're-visiting" lessons like the penatatonic scales, the major scale, intervals and triads fairly often. I takes time to have this stuff ingrained into your brain and fingers. (as least with me it does...) So @flobbadob if you can meet the " You're Ready to Move On" criteria and You feel like you're ready, why not go for it? There's no shame in going back to a previous lesson and reviewing it. In fact I think its a very good thing. Sometimes I 'll do a practice session where I go all the way back to the early lessons (at least n the book) and play every exercise and song in the lesson and bonus book right up to the current level. It's sometimes a wake up call... "ohhh, my reading isn't too good, or what is that key signature again, or whats the 3rd of Db? " After all, this is "self-directed" learning... All the Best N

I sometimes don't see the course as linear as Session 1 to Session 2 to Session 3.. edit: the course is linear from 1-9 ; after that 10-20 it is not . Just extra tools for your tool belt. as your skill increases you'll want to skip ahead (esp above session 9) .. learn something new that peaks your interest but might not grasp the concept/skill at that time. then you jump back and work something that wasn't just quite right when you were there, then move forward again.. remember as skills are learned we use them, here and there. (pss.. also Steve has said the "master" in Learn and Master .. was just a name they came up with.. don't trip over the "I didn't master X session") the learning , adjusting, re-learning, never stops.. I'm nowhere near Session 17, but now that I'm not playing in my choir every week, is allowing me to go back to areas that are week and re-learn/re-adjust them and move forward all at the same time.
