I am new to Guitar tricks and this is my New Years resolution. I really want to learn how to play and play well. I have vowed to myself to play every day for at least 15 minutes minimum no matter what is going on. I am at a point in my life where I can do this. Guitar has been a life long dream that I have picked up and put down many times over the past 35 years and now I want to really learn and play. I really have a tough time with traditional lessons and get very frustrated with it. I think that the technology and forums like Guitar Tricks can guide me to where I want to be with my guitar. Right now, I look forward to getting off work every day to come home and practice and play. Some of the exercises I am working on are still very frustrating but I just keep telling myself, I will get there. All the teachers here make it look so easy and effortless and my fingers just don't want to go where they are supposed to a lot of the time. Looking forward to a great year with your site.
