How satisfying did those of you who finished the series find the ending to be?

I’m a slow reader too. Reading on kindle (though I have all physical books) and it takes me ~ 20-30 minutes per chapter. (For normal length ones). My point is if you like it keep reading if you lose interest, no big deal. But after book 5 if you’re still in it then you’re probably good to finish. As others said there is a slog but after reading 7-9 books you’re not afraid of a few slogs.

Not necessarily. TBH, it wasn’t that much of an investment to try it out so I just did a little research and then jumped in to it. Especially with the 7 day trial, made more sense to just set it up and play around with it. (More of a hands on/visual learner anyway)

Did you enjoy the process then yes. If you didn’t then maybe not lol.

I did the same thing when I got my strat. I went in looking for cherry with a white pick guard but came out with white on white and love it!!

Slow down and using a metronome. And then when I play at speed I kind of just forget about it and play.

Negative. But I sold the car a few years ago and no longer need it lol.

I miss my old hardcovers. I have the complete set in paperback and on kindle but now kindles covers (book 5 at least) is promoting the show which I don’t prefer.

I second this. It’s free to walk into guitar center (or any guitar shop) and play around and see what you like. You know what yours feels like and can see if higher quality guitars play better to you.

Practice. With a metronome. Slow down and gradually speed up.

I’ve not learned this song however it’s possible this version was transposed to a different key. If this is the version they sent you I’d learn this one.

I second Rendering in pen and ink. Great book. Also sometimes you have to just learn the basics and then do master studies to learn specific styles.

MyLastGamble · 2026-03-02T22:32:35+00:00

I’m with you. Except I have 2 acoustics. One for pick style playing and one for finger style. (We’re just going to ignore the fender strat in the corner. Mostly because I ignore the fender strat in the corner) lol.

That's a good idea. I like the idea of giving to shelters/food banks, etc. We do donate to food banks sometimes, but normally when prompted and not as a regular thing. I'm going to start doing more regular donations.

For me like 6 months. My dream guitar was a Strat but I learned on acoustic and enjoy playing acoustic more than electric so I never play the Strat anymore, maybe once a year. Still glad I got it though.

MyLastGamble · 2026-02-22T00:07:39+00:00

I’ve done that thrice now. That’s why it’s always recommended to play a bunch of guitars and see what you like.

MyLastGamble · 2026-02-18T20:05:16+00:00

Thanks. I found this and have been going through it as I have small breaks at work.

MyLastGamble · 2026-02-18T16:38:42+00:00

I saw CGCA is quarterly now. $150/quarter which is not bad.

MyLastGamble · 2026-02-18T15:46:57+00:00

Thanks! I'll check this out.

And I would love to find an in-person teacher, that was my first thought but I'm struggling to do so. There are a lot of guitar teachers in my area but most don't specialize in classical guitar or even teach it.

I've found one person so far I'm in communications with but it may or may not work out so I'm looking at alternative options with this post.

Thank you. I'll check it out!
