Songs, strumming & bored

Hi John, good to hear from you again :smiley:
This post has a lot in common with the one you posted around the same time last year :thinking:
The good news is that you obviously have dedication/staying power.
Slightly more worrying is that if nothing changes, there may well come a point where you ask ‘why bother?’
I think the main thing is to reflect on what you really want to be able to do with your guitar.
If you’re not into singing, as others have pointed out, simple strumming is not going to cut it. Fingerstyle, picking out melodies, or lead lines over songs is probably the way to go.
You mentioned previously that you’d like to be able to pick up your guitar and improvise, or make your own music.
Have you thought about sitting down and trying to write your own music/song? It can be a daunting prospect or great fun, depending on how you approach it :smiley:

You mention $60 1-1 lessons in the past.
Not my cup of tea.
But in your shoes, I would seriously think of taking one- or maybe a couple- of online lessons with one of the Justinguitar approved teachers here in the Community. They’re intimately familiar with the course you are taking and would be in the best position to be able to help you explore where you’d like to go and how to best get there.
Think about it.
You can use my two cents as a downpayment :rofl:
