im so glad i joined this forum. gives me hope that my 5 hour approach plus per day might work. a week ago or so, i sat down and looked at my guitar and said to myself "the limits are off...you can go as far as you want with this thing...so why just settle for little when you can go the whole way?" it was around then that i decided i want to play music for the rest of my life, and since then i've been playing with more passion than ever before.
