Your Journey to Becoming a Guitarist

Sam-Y · 06-27-2009, 09:04 AM

I've gotten interesting replies from everyone, thanks a lot! So the overall message I've gotten is:

1. I could be bored because I'm not learning interesting/complicated stuff that I want to play.

2. I could be bored because I'm worrying too much about being good rather than enjoying it.

3. The guitar is not for me and I should stick to the drums.

My goal now is to find the cause of this lack of interest, which is harder than it sounds. I don't want to assume I'm not interested because of reason 3 (since I might be able to recapture that interest after playing for awhile). I don't want to give up the guitar and realize that I would have enjoyed it had I stuck with it.
