skilsaw Posted October 8, 2015 Share Posted October 8, 2015 Reading the gibson forum does not make me a guitarist. It's practice, practice, practice. I'm sure I'm one of the most lame guitarists here. Age 61 and only had lessons for 9 months. But it's a way to spend my sunset years. Good thing I can bypass the amp with headphones. Otherwise I would be evicted. By the way, the sandwich was good and the coffee got me ready to rock. Zow-eee. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

skilsaw Posted October 9, 2015 Author Share Posted October 9, 2015 I'm working my way through the Hal Leonard guitar books. Learning to read music and play what is in the books. Exercises, scales, chords and flat picking. I can feel progress from week to week which keeps me motivated, but progress is slow. I bet a teenage mind would pick it up faster.

Autumn Light&Shade Posted October 9, 2015 Share Posted October 9, 2015 Hi skilsaw, sounds like a good plan, for a perfect day I've been busy with work lately, but I like to make time for my guitar practice. It's a great feeling going off to work with some new chords 'under the belt' or finally 'nailing' a tune. Hope you are having a good time playing kind regards, Emma :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pesh Posted October 9, 2015 Share Posted October 9, 2015 I've just started another module with my uni course; so with work during the day I've got to carefully allocate time to study and then everything else. So I've even got a reminder in my phone calendar to practice for at least a half hour a day, now. The alert snaps me out of whatever else I'm getting carried away with, and tells me to grab one by the neck and crank out some notes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
