I can make some chords better then others. Still can't do barre chords, and not sure that I even want to. I've done a few scales, but it's been a while since I've done them, so it's not fair to say that I know scales. The only song I'm comfortable saying that I know is Free Fallin by Tom Petty. As for why I started in the first place, I still have no idea. The only reason I've been able to come up with is that I would like to be able to play the few songs that I like, in the privacy of my own home, where nobody will ever hear me play. I have no desire whatsoever to play for an audience or to write my own music.

I say I haven't made any progress because I still don't feel like I've advanced beyond beginner. I still can't do the things that someone who has tried for 6 months can do, and it's been 5 years.
