It’s an ongoing process. WHen I wrote this goal, I left the house no more than once a week. Now I see at least one music show a week, and six a month. Some weeks I see three or four acts.
Local music is the best thing – open mic nights, pub music nights, local venues. It’s cheap, it’s often high quality (I’m lucky in my location), and it’s always worthwhile.

In the end, all I had to do was move out, get on with my life for two years, then fall in love with somone else.
Simple :P

For a good eight months now, I’ve been playing the guitar pretty regularly. My technique is slowly, slowly improving all the time, and I’m picking up a few songs now.
I’m marking this as done because I’ve reached a stage where I can just pick up the guitar and get a tune out of it. I can sit down, turn my brain off, and think/communicate/live through the guitar. I can let it take over. That was a major goal of mine – to be able to express myself through the guitar. I’m more or less there, and I’m very comfortable while playing.
Ultimatley, we’re all still learning. My next goal is to play guitar well! This part of the journey (the hardest?) is over though.
