No, @Cadgirl , I’m not going to quit. I was just feeling desperate. When I use “if this then I’m gonna” statements to push myself. When I say “I’m gonna quit guitar if I can’t get the metronome”, then I can’t give up on practicing with the metronome. There is no option there. Because believe me, I was about to say, “oh, who cares”. But not being able to keep time with a metronome is no longer ok. 🤔
I was using headphones as I listened to the click track and tried strumming my guitar using a very simple chord progression. If you do that, listen to music through your headphones as you play along, then you are already doing what I’m trying to do. 😉
Yeah, that’s right. I’ve been playing guitar on and mostly off for 20 years, and then over 3 years of TAC playing everyday, and I’m just now trying to play along with a fixed rhythm. My bad. 😏
Except one thing, @jumpinjeff says I’m right where I’m supposed to be right when I’m supposed to be. I’m familiar with that and used to say it to others. It’s a true statement. So yeah, this was my path. I’ll embrace it. 🤗
I love my guitar journey. I have become so content with it, that this discomfort shook me up. We love to be comfortable, but it’s not always a good thing. If we fall into lethargy, we need to be shaken up. I consider this my guitar journey wake up call. 😎
