I already knew I had no innate talent for the guitar. But after only the second day I am realising the depths of my talent-lacuna is greater than I had suspected.
I am not sure I made any progress on the great Febethon Day 2. I did "play" some additional chords. But only with a very intensive and considered effort put in to finding them one by one, and with much careful placing of each finger individually. If the whole idea of chords is that you play multiple strings at the same time, as a single tone, well I have managed to come close, I'll give you that. However the eventual result of my careful preparation didn't seem to sound terribly together and was rather fuzzy each time, albeit that it did happen. If however the idea of chords are that you can play them fast enough to create a tune ... woah, have I got a long way to go. I don't think I'll be playing any three-minute pop songs in the near future - three hour songs sounds optimistic for now!
Ah well. It was supposed to be a challenge, that was the idea I think ... do I never learn?
