GC has many detractors, but they have their good points, too, often overlooked.
How goes your experiments in guitarrorism?
As I last reported, it was going slowly. I was having a hard time getting my hands to just go to a given shape of chord with any speed.
Then, I had to set it aside for a while. There was a period of financial and personal stress, such that I couldn't responsibly pay for lessons, and trying to practice on my own was *damnably* frustrating. I found that while I can amiably fail and keep at it when times are good, doing so when worried about mortgage payments... not fun.
New job, reduced stress, and I picked it up again a week and a half ago. It is back to being amiable failure, which is good. I still have very fond feelings for the physical instrument, which is awesome. Unfortunately, the place I was going for lessons doesn't offer them over the summer. So, I'm looking for other sources.
Ultimately, not a whole lot of progress on this front.
