RE: Ours for the Taking

What an amazing find that subscription service was! Culture adds such a layer of rich complexity and enjoyment to our lives, it's a shame so many leave it untapped.

I've been trying to learn to play the acoustic guitar for a few years but have recently ramped up my efforts. I have a musical background (violin, piano, clarinet) so just sitting with it for a few days and strumming has been helpful vs. following online lessons.

Oh hey, congrats! It's never an easy thing, inviting a new habit into your life, though I imagine if you learned all those instruments previous, you might not find it so tricky.
I've heard some guitarists find it easier to improvise, as you seem to, than to follow a set learning structure, so definitely not worth forcing yourself to sit with an online lesson if you don't resonate with that style. Best of luck with the guitar, and who knows, maybe we even hear you playing on the blockchain some day, eh? :)

Thanks! That's certainly been the case for me—improvisation is easier. Remembering back, that's how it was for the other instruments too. Maybe I'll record something when I can play more than bits and pieces of songs. : )
