I think the people that post about the “fun” are people/who have been playing for some years- the licks are rarely fun for me but I do think of them as brain expanders. Like Barbara, I break them into small chunks and sometimes never go past the first chunk- trusting that when this comes around again I will be able to move ahead. I really do not pass any judgement on myself- learning guitar is totally new to me and I just go with the flow…slowly!
