I got bored easily when I was in my thirties, so I never really made any kind of progress, in spite of buying different styles of guitar over the years, thinking that the right one would make a difference. It didn't!
Two years ago it started to come together, and now I can hardly bear to put the guitar down. I've built the callouses to a tortoise shell-like crust, but a 64 bar solo I'm working on has brought back the pain! :eek:
