Topic: i'm struggling
hi there people, i've been learning for about 2 months now and up till about a week ago i was making some good progress. but just this week i just feel like i've taken a good few steps backward!!!!! its weird, sometimes it feels like i've lost the feeling in my fingers due to the hard skin, then other times i think i've gone back to holding the guitar wrong again ( thumb facing towards the neck) now i'm starting to think the strings might be to stiff cause when i play my electric they feel so much easier on my fingers and i can feel what i'm doing again...... but mainly i think its in my head. up till now i have had nothing but joy but it is getting really really frustrating, which i was warned by my sister that i had to push through. i have a lesson on wed so i will ask my teacher who also runs the shop about strings.
oh yeah ( sorry about the length of this post) since i got my accoustic which i love dearly i find it really hard to play with a pick so i have just started using my fingers i think it all started going wrong about then, but........ i reckon if there is a world record for the amount of times of losing your pick inside the guitar and how long it takes for getting the little devil out again i have the record for sure ha ha ha ha man i am frustrated today.
