I’m still working on my acoustic finger style with singing game
Got Jolene pretty much down now (although playing at the same BPM as the record is still a challenge, that is fast picking). Continuing working on Don’t Think Twice it’s Alright, fun to play but it’s a lot for my fingers

thanks dudes @parm @robespierre
it’s weird, I can’t play anything else nearly as difficult or impressive as this. I’ve done basically nothing for 3 months except play this one song. I keep having daydreams of being at a party and playing this and everyone going wild and then having nothing to follow up with apart from Hey Jude or a drab rendition of Hallelujah.

I wish people came into my house and told me this all the time. I’m ultimately quite pathetic like that.

I had a quick go at Don’t Think Twice… earlier. barely touched my guitar in the past year because of the state I’ve been in, but managed to sit down with a tutorial video.
my fingers did what I told them to, which was surprising. didn’t have the mental capacity to got through the whole vid (not a long vid, but my capacity is barely existent), but… yeah, it felt reassuring that I haven’t just lost it

think I got a bit frustrated that the guy was teaching a more basic version than the recorded one.

oh nice, this guy does it like Dylan
reeeeally annoys me when tutorials are just basic versions
this video is great for giving the whole range (no doubt others exist but saw this recently)

What’s a bit wild is that most Dylan scholars think the intricate guitar part on ‘Don’t Think Twice’ was actually played by Bruce Langhorne, the musician ‘Mr. Tambourine Man’ was partially written about. Dylan never played it like that live, preferring to strum it ratheŕ than finger pick.

This makes so much sense 
.
Have I been wrong in thinking the first note of any song determines the key for that whole song?
Not exactly, but also maybe not in the way you’re thinking.
The first note of a song isn’t necessarily the root note of the key of the song - so, if the first note of the song is an E, that doesn’t necessarily mean the song is in the key of E.
But! It does (probably) mean that the scale of the key that the song is in contains that note.
So, if a song starts on an E, it could be in C Major (C D E F G A B C), or E Major (E F# G# A B C# D# E) or B Minor (B C# D E F# G A B) or any number of other keys that contain that note.
