Plateau-ing 4 days ago

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?



JacqualineRo quietly contemplating the root of insomnia

soon 1 week ago

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…

So many false starts 1 week ago

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! :)



Frustrated 3 weeks ago

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!
