I'm here. Working through book 1, currently on page 81: Waltz For Two (duet).
It's deceptively hard. I find the rest strokes hard, and the rest stroke picking (alternate picking is easier).
I'm not really set up to post videos but wanted to express solidarity. I intend to make it through this book. I also ordered Leavitt's Melodic Rhythms for guitar. I'm working with a teacher on that one. There are free versions floating around but I went ahead and ordered a copy.
Good luck, thanks for making this thread.

I just started playing guitar. I was wondering how people are progressing. The book is going very slowly

20 pages left! It's slower than I like (about 20 pages in 3 months). But I am reviewing, going back over things in a thorough fashion. Trying not to rush it. Great book.

I noticed your Robert Conti quote. Where is a good place to start with his lessons? Which might you recommend for, say, an intermediate guitarist?

Satin Doll - Robert Conti's Ticket to Improv
Here's a link to the very last page of the Study Group, Volume 4, Project 4 (Georgia).
Robert Conti TTI Vol 4 Project 4 (Georgia On My Mind)
Caveat: There was a lot of noise on this Forum about the "hipness" of the Conti TTI solos, but Conti stresses that he is teaching concepts (e.g., arpeggios, chromaticism). There is an example in one of the projects where one of the better players on the Forum joined in a made a Conti stock solo sound very hip! So feel free to take liberties.
Good luck!
