What you are going through I think seeems to happen to EVERYONE and regular intervals while they are learning. If I find myself feeling like this then it's time to learn a new technique or scale or song.

Listen to the radio a lot. Every day I hear a song and think "Oooo that sounds like it'd be good to play". Look it up and start learning it. I love it! Once you've learned the song and can play it then start to look at ways you can improve how it sounds. There may be a bass run or hammer on that will bring it alive again. It's all part of the fun for me.

Don't get me wrong, I am just a beginner like you (2 years maybe), so I have a lot to learn. But I'm loving learning it.

True........ the person below loves the blues.

Aaaahhhhh

Good for the soul.

BB King has always fascinated me. Amazing guitar and amazing voice. Garry Moore is another of my favourites. That was the perfect wind down. Just in from work and totally mellow. Man.

Are you trying to tell us something, Doc?

All the best, Doc. You're a star!

I would probably transpose it down a full step (two frets) making it G Em Am Bm C and D.

You can also play Eb like this

like a normal D only slide it up a fret and put your pinky on the D string at the 5th fret.

When I first saw Andy McKee on Youtube I never touched my guitar for 3 days. Now you show me an 11 yr old kid playing like that.

Jeez!

Might pick it back up in a couple of weeks. Definitely no talent with me. Just pure bloody mindedness that I'll one day play a recognisable tune.

I'm with aj1 on this. I tried more expensive instruments and ended up buying a Yamaha APX500. A fantastic guitar for the money. Sounded better than a lot of more expensive brands. It's an electro-acoustic and sounds great on it's own or through an amp. Check them out, they won't dissapoint.

Good to hear from you. You sound like you're still doped out your head.
