So, I was thinking about playing guitar, and how difficult it is to practice without giving up. It is hard, mainly because most folks learn a few chords then struggle to put together a few simple tunes to make them feel like they are making progress.
There is also a lot of confusuion for people who have no knowledge at all about music theory, it goes right over my head!
