Why I'm Here

I am 58 years old, and I had been taking lessons, practicing, learning the acoustic guitar beginning in January 2015. I live in Bourbonnais, IL, and I try to practice 1-2 hours every single day if I can. I own a Epiphone Sunburst DR-100 acoustic guitar that is my primary. I didn’t pay a lot of money for it, but it does sound pretty good.

My Guitar Goal

What I'm Focused On Now

In recent months, I have lost two family members– my mother passed 12/13/20 and my older sister passed 5/12/21. It really made me not want to practice, learn, or have anything to do with acoustic guitar. But there is good news…..

I started again this week (starting on August 15th), and I was amazed what I remembered when I picked up the guitar again. Truthfully, I hadn’t even touched my guitar since September 2019.

So, what are my goals for the next three months?

1. Maintain a focused, relevant, and regular guitar practice routine.

2. Break up my practicing into “learnable chunks”-  I don’t think playing longer is the key– small and steady wins the race in my opinion.

3. Relearn lessons, etc. that I was practicing to on a more regular basis almost 2 years ago.

4. Log onto Tony’s Acoustic Challenge more often and get more involved with my fellow TACers.
