I tried self teaching but never overcame my first mental block and every time i practiced I just did the same thing over and over so really no progression. I traded it with a good friend of mine and got a really nice acoustics guitar thinking I needed to refocus on basics and rebuild from there. However, my son started showing an interest so I gave it to him. A few years ago I bought a cheap epiphone and went and bought the Xbox game Rocksmith” in hopes of tackling it once again. Yet, never happened because I never found the time to put in it, and when I do, I can’t because the Xbox stopped working for some reason.
I can play just enough to make someone who does not recognize good play to think I’m talented, but I know it’s not much at all. Really want to get into it again because it’s my goal to learn. I’ve always been a drummer but the guitar is what I love. Also want to learn the piano. But I doubt that will ever happen, specially when I don’t own one.
Damn, I was going to ask you if that helped. I almost bought Rocksmith several times. I need a lot of work on scales. I want to play lead, but practicing scales seems like the most boring thing you can do on guitar. Agree with you on piano. I doubt I'll ever learn it, but I've always found piano to be the most beautiful sounding instrument.
The training, nutrition, medicine, fitness, playbooks and rules evolve. The athlete does not.
