germander thinks it may be time to reinvent herself
I emptied a box of pens and wrote “Squirrel fund” on it, in big letters, with a Sharpie. It’s exactly the size of dollar bills, and this week I squirreled away another $5. I won’t track all my squirrels on here, but eventually, I’ll have the funds for a new guitar and a few lessons to get me started.

I’m able to do A-Shape barre chords. I know the beginnings of few songs, but I’m lazy to learn them completely. I feel that I keep on playing and doing things I already know, without learning anything new :(
I want to make a daily practice schedule. Any suggestions?

My sister gave me this awesome guitar when I got married, and it has just lain dormant for so many years. I am determined to learn how to play the damn thing.
I got myself a chord poster (again, many years ago), which I finally hung on the wall next to where I keep the guitar. I keep hoping that mere proximity will make a difference.
I need a practice plan, a schedule. Maybe if I work out exactly which scales, chord changes, etcetera, that I need to do for a lesson, I’d find a little more motivation.
We’ll see…

I think I have to admit that my lack of success in the past is NOT a reflection of my lack of desire to learn, and I should recommit to learning to play someday.
I will:
*squirrel money away until I can afford to buy a guitar.
*read about guitars on the market so I’ll know what to get.
*purchase a guitar, when I can.
*take lessons.
*learn a song I like as soon as possible to make me feel like I’ve actually gotten somewhere.
*practice.
I don’t like knowing I’ve let this go for so long, but I’m not giving up.

I really want to learn to play guitar, I have got two guitars, and a book on how to learn guitar but never got the time… I have had guitar lessons in the past but I always gave up, so soon i hope to pick up my guitar and learn some chords, at least! :)

I’ve had a guitar, off and on, for about fifteen years and I still don’t really know how to play it! I’ve had some teachers but have had to drop out after a while because of time constraints, money or other reasons. Most of what I’ve learned I found through video lessons on youtube, but those are all specific lessons for songs. I haven’t found anything that teaches you, step by step, how to play the guitar. I have fun with the few chords I know but I want to break out beyond that. I wish I had a friend who plays and more time to practice too!
