Day 4 of the February Guitar Challenge seemed to be all about determination. I had determined I would do my practice even though I got home late at night; I had determined I would try and motivate myself through working on an incredibly slow and unconvincing rendition of Scarborough Fair; and I had determined I would remember at least two chords. Musicality and/or any sense of aural pleasure simply didn't come into it!
So how did I get on?
Well, the lessons I have learned so far are (1) that my suspicion that guitar-playing is another ambitious area of existence for which I have little or no talent was pretty accurate and (2) I need to hope very strongly that the the walls of my old terraced cottage are thick though to protect my poor next door neighbour from the very worst excesses of my noise-making.
I think those conclusions probably tell you as much as there is to know regarding the success of my guitar self-teaching to date!
