That is how we learn. Slowly, deliberately, and slowly. (It’s there twice.)
Remember riding a bicycle as a kid? I was a real mess — on my first try, I crashed into the neighbor’s new car. It took weeks to be able to ride a bike around without the training wheels.
The guitar is like that, but MUCH more complicated. We have to do a LOT to learn just to practice a new tune:
Learn the chords, changing the chords, strumming, timing, rhythm, hitting the right strings, the right frets, holding the guitar upright, not leaning/slouching, using a pick, relaxing the arms/fingers, tired fingers, hurting fingertips…
…this is almost like learning another language, but with all the physical stuff, too!
The guitar journey will take a while.
It’ll take at least a year to “get it,” I think.
I just started in TAC in January, but I’m learning the chords, changing the chords, etc., and realized that this isn’t a race.
It’s a lifelong journey.
