Playing while on vacation
Playing while on vacation
I have many small wins rolled up into a Huge Win for me. So, here goes… My wife and I are spending a month in Hawaii (tough duty, but someone has to do it). This led to the following:
During our planning phase, my wife says, “You are planning on practicing your guitar on our vacation aren’t you?” Yes! (SmallWin #1).
I found a guitar rental near where we are staying. (SmallWin #2).
While they didn’t have the Martin or Taylor that I was hoping to rent, the entry level Jasmine was available, new and played just fine. ….AND it was half the price. (SmallWin #3).
I am successfully keeping to my daily guitar schedule and I am consistently playing between 30 to 60 minutes or more a day. While on vacation! (SmallWin #4).
Our small condo has “forced” me to play in front of my wife. This is a good thing as I am a bit shy about playing in front of people. (SmallWin #5).
My wife tells me that she enjoys listening to me practice the lessons and especially my noodling around afterwards. What a huge ego boost! (SmallWin #6, maybe a GiantWin!)
And last, while the Jasmine is serving its purpose with flying colors, it has made me realize how nice my Epiphone guitar at home plays and sounds. (SmallWin #7)
Thanks!

Great to hear all these wins, Doug. Hope your vacation is good in other regards too.

Thanks everyone. I appreciate your support. Great vacations and successful guitar practice do mix well.

Awesome win x7 Doug. Removes lots of excuses that the rest of us might come up with for prolonged time away from our routine.

Good Job on all the small wins @Doug . I never thought about anyone renting guitars? Thanks for this information. My brother gave me his 1/4 size for when I go on vacation. So small it fits anywhere. Playing the guitar in front of your wife will help break the ice on your shyness.
