Feeling Defeated
Feeling really defeated this week with the Daily Challenge.
I was super busy this week and I usually have time at lunch to practice. I was pretty busy Wednesday, missed practicing Thursday because I was working on site at my Office, and just completely overwhelmed with Fridays daily challenge this week.
I hope next week is something completely different.

I think your small win is the fact that you can recognize this, and still keep guitar in your mind. Next week WILL be better. Just keep showing up. Life can get crazy busy sometimes and this is probably a big reason a lot of people quit. I think most people can realistically find 10 minutes to play. Even if it’s not doing one of the daily challenges. Just picking up the guitar and playing a few notes or chords is all really. Getting in the habit of trying to play everyday is the key.

Thanks Skyman! I did make a point to at least pick her up and play a few songs with chords. 😉
Now you’re making me feel better.

The turtle wins the race. Just hunker down and keep walking. Tony always suggests a backup plan when life gets in the way. Now you have an opportunity to devise or practice your backup plan. Feel the defeat but don’t be defeated. After all the guitar is for fun. So pick it up and start having fun like it is a new start. Each day is.

Don’t let a down week in TAC get to you @SCGobbler ! Learning guitar is a marathon, not a sprint! Last year when this challenge came around, I was new having started in July before and I hardly touched the content. A year later I’m totally having a blast with it! Not that I have got it down but I’ve learned so many parts and just lapping it up. There will be weeks where your opportunity to TAC is limited. That’s fine, try to show up for a bit here and there and attempt a blurb here and there. That’s all I did for the first several months. Growth will come slowly and in spurts. All of sudden you’ll be blown away by what you just did!

Have to agree with the others. The guitar is very patient. It will be there when you have time.
Maybe play around with it over the weekend, but try not to beat yourself up. All the lessons rotate around, so you haven’t missed it.
When youre unable to touch the guitar for a lesson, why not work some theory in. Take one small thing and think it through during those days you’re crazed.
