I started more seriously not quite three months ago. My first lesson, after struggling on my own, was in the middle of May. I can see/hear/feel improvement but don't I wish it was faster. There is no agenda just personal satisfaction. I'm not really disappointed in my skill level at this point but just wish I could pick it up faster. I am only doing this for my own entertainment. I have no desire to join a band or play for anyone but myself but I want to enjoy what I am playing for myself. So far I am learning melodies for several songs. All good, I enjoy these songs. I've nearly mastered You are my sunshine (forward roll T,I,M,T,I,M) so I like to play that and am anxious to work on the rest on of it. Now Georgia Railroad is challenging me. A new roll, T,I,T,M. I'm going to have to listen to it with lyrics a few times to get into the groove. I also need to record myself and save that to go back and listen in a few months. Not sure how to get that done. I can make a recording with my phone, the smarter than me kind, but I need to edit out all the false starts. Since I know I'm recording myself I wreck frequently and early. If I'm not recording myself I do better. I know it's all mental. Like me. At least I can recognize when I'm grinding my teeth.
Time for a beer and a little practice before my girlfriend gets home from work and I get dinner on the table.
Later HO.
