Yeah, there's a big difference between picking out a few similar notes and actually playing what the music calls for.
And this is encouragement - I just don't want you to believe you'll pick it up quickly and then give up when you don't. It can be insanely complicated, and even just replicating what's on the paper isn't easy. It's a journey that will last the rest of your life. I'm nearing five decades and I still learn new things and still work on the same drills I've been mastering for a lifetime.
That said, I eagerly await you sharing your first tune. I will be judging you - harshly. ;-)

You are right. Perhaps I’m being a bit over confident, compensating for being nervous I guess. As far as judging me harshly I would have it any other way.
