Okay so you may have read my earlier post on my Rocksmith progression but don't let that fool you into believing that this means i am anywhere near ready to call myself a guitarist because I am not. Learning guitar is possibly the most challenging thing I have ever tried to do. I am still struggling to make my fingers do what I want them to do. I still pluck the wrong string and find the wrong place on the fretboard far too often for comfort. I have most of the basic chords under my belt but switch between them is a slow and arduous process for my dumb fingers.
This is however a thousand times better than it was several months ago and I can honestly say I am happy with my progress, indeed my instructor has even commented that he can tell I am practising a lot at home and thinks that I am making good progress.
My practise time at home usually consist of practising the "A Minor" scale all the way up the fret board and the G Major Scale. This is then followed by trying to get my fingers to shift between various chords. More recently my tutor has asked me to begin learning the intro of ACDC's Highway to Hell this is now proving to be a lot easier than it did in last weeks lesson so I am hoping that by my next lesson I will have it nailed.
I am trying to be a lot stricter with my practise time at home as I have found over the last few weeks that it is easy to become distracted and play things I already know because I find it either easy or fun which in my opinion has not helped my progression. I need to focus to the areas I find more difficult and when I do play for fun find a way to put them into practice.
