We've all gotten frustrated with our playing at times feeling that we're not progressing as fast as we'd like to but that's all part of learning.Don't blame your guitar,it was once said that it's a poor musician who blames his instrument.Believe me there were many times that I felt like packing it in but I persevered and made myself more determined to conquer the guitar.You should be thanking God that you have 2 good hands.Every day I'm faced with sometimes excruciating pain from the arthritis in my hands but I refuse to let it beat me and even though my playing is not 20% of what it was I keep going.Les Paul has been a great inspiration for me so much so that a letter that I wrote in tribute to him was chosen as letter of the month in the January issue of Guitar Player Magazine.What I wouldn't give to have hands as young and healthy as yours,you should count your blessings and just keep playing,believe me it will all come in time you just have to learn to give it time.


Guitslinger,

I read that letter...very inspiring and well-written. Have you tried any topical NSAID's for your pain? They can work well and don't rip up your stomach like their oral counterparts.

Both of my folks own Horses so i have alot of fields and woodland areas to practise and go loud in :) so i know the fun you can have, And everyones said it over and over that you're just having a bad day.
Have you got a teacher or tutor atm? I reccomend you jump on in to learning from one if you dont already have one.
They will help you learn stuff that you totally over looked I am certain there must be something missing that you will learn fast and suddenly be blazing along happily.

2 days ago I completed Vinnie Moore's April Sky,A sng i would never in my life listened to but my tutor turned me onto it and now i have this beautiful song to play.
And being a perfectionist too i know what you mean,I personally just build or fix something for an hour to give myself time to calm down for when i re-approach the guitar. :P

Do you have to buy the stuff you trash?
If you do you must have more money than most.
