My Guitar Goal

What I'm Focused On Now

First, I’m going to finally make it all the way thru “30 days to play.”  I’ve started several times and stopped, but now, for the first time, I’m writing this down, so I am committed, right?  I think the reason I keep stopping is that I feel defeated/depressed when I can’t do some picking exercise, so I’m going to change my routine so as to always end on playing something that I can play, that sounds halfway decent, so that I can feel like I actually can play.

Second, I want to be able to play the song “Aimee” (Pure Prairie League), including the intro.

My Guitar Routine

This is How I TAC

I will play a minimum of 5 days a week, a minimum of 15 minutes each day.  Hopefully more.

When I think about when I will play, I’m beginning to realize that this is pretty important.  Initially my thought was ‘oh, whenever; I’m retired so I have most of my day free.’  But I think if I don’t get to it before lunch, the chances of my playing go way down as the hours pass.  So, I’m going to sit down to play at 11 a.m.

Where is easy.  I have a music room, where I practice guitar and piano, and where I can sit quietly (no TV in this room) and read.
