Styles Develops Guitar

Join my journey into the mysterious world of the musician.

Current Song: Walkaways by the Counting Crows
Thoughts: My guitar teacher has given me the tab for Walkaways! My best attempt so far can be found here. I'm off on the intro and playing too many strings throughout (especially the G on the high E string), but it's getting there.

Short Term Goal 1: Learn to play Walkaways with the metronome while counting and tapping my foot.
This will require me to learn to:

Count with the beat
Use a metronome
Play lightly
Strum continuously
Avoid hitting extra strings
Pick in a circle

Short Term Goal 2: Learn to tune the guitar by ear using a pitch pipe.
This will require me to learn to:

Use a pitch pipe
Match pitch by ear
Become adept at hitting two strings then adjusting the tuning pegs
