One of the many things I love about this TAC community is how so many of you are eager to help and determined not to judge! Some awesome advice offered, as I expected. My guitar journey so far has been almost 4 years, but starting as a beginner at the age of 61. I tried to learn once before, about 40 years ago, but didn’t get far back then. On balance I am quite pleased with my progress, but as you all know and have experienced, inevitably those funks come along now and then. This one was triggered by doing the daily challenges and wondering: “How I am ever going to understand enough to put everything together properly so I can play solos, improvise and do much more than just strum chords?” But I have also begun to accept that in the end what matters is enjoying the stuff I can do, and most days I manage to do that. I don’t especially care if I ever go very deep into the music theory aspects, and I have no ambitions to be the lead guitarist in a band or anything like that. Strumming chords and singing is lots of fun, too! So thanks, everyone, for offering the encouragement and injecting your own perspectives.
