  • First week!

    Posted by BrandonK on March 8, 2024 at 1:59 pm

    Wow this week was tough. I felt the 30 Day to play was really tough. I feel like I know nothing at the end and I want to go back through the video lots of times to learn the patterns and get them down.

    I have done my best to just keep moving forward and only do 10 minutes.

    This is mentally challenging for me, I am going to trust the process.

    Yes; it is a process; seems slow going; and can be discouraging. The process does work over time though as we are consistent. i have times when I do the minimum 10 minutes, and times when I put in an hour or more now that I have progressed some and am also working on a song here and there.

    I am a month away from 4 years now; and though started older (I am 71), could not have imagined I would be able to post videos such as I have recently of the Wagon Wheel Chord Progression and Wish You Were Here. They are far from great, but oh so much more than I thought would be.

    Keep at it and you will surprise yourself. Don’t wait to get something down pat before you take a next step. Keep playing and watch things start coming together. The best to you.

    Brandon, I’m 3 months in and stick with it. It does work but takes time. As Tony says, be sure to record yourself. I’m pretty self critical until look back 30 or 60 days. With that, you will see progress every month.

    Just to clarify what Tony is saying. You don’t have to stop after 10 mins, but that should be your minimum. Feel free to spend more time. But also don’t overdo it. If you aren’t getting something in 10 mins it’s not going to get better by spending an hour on it. Mix up what you are focusing on.
