Hi guys,
At the end of the month I’ll hit 4 months since I started learning guitar. This has been a huge thing for me, I feel passion for this hobby that I never felt before, I’m loving it so far.
The thing I’m currently struggling the most with is picking accuracy and speed with a pick. (Finger picking is definitely my strength)
(I’m a right handed person playing a left handed guitar, got a very bad thumb on my left hand and fretting is nearly impossible)
At the moment I’m practicing some scales, trying out alternate picking and overall trying to get my strumming hand to be more accurate and less shaky.
So far I’ve gotten down 2-3 scales, I can change between the basic chords pretty easily and quickly, and I’m just now getting the hang of the F barre chord, I think I got it down pretty easily, I thought I’d struggle with it for longer because of how impossible it felt the first time. I’ve got a few licks and riffs down as well. I suppose I can pick up most open chord songs pretty fast and play them, but that’s all I got so far.
I’m just now starting to learn some theory, how chords are constructed and what scales mean, what notes stay where on the fretboard and overall the basics of guitar/music theory. Theory has been surprisingly interesting and fun for me and I think I’ll got further into it, once I get better at actually playing the stuff I’m learning about.
I’m very eager to get better, and be able to play stuff off the top of my head.
