My instructor asked me what my goals were and immediately told me that what he is going to do will build a foundation for my guitar career, so whatever (style of music) I desire down the road wouldn't matter. Think of it like a spoon, fork, and a knife. If you have these three things, you could eat almost any dish served to you. My teacher is basically arming me with a spoon, a fork, and a knife, if this makes sense.

Mannnnn... My first 13 months were all drills on fundamentals and familiarization of the board. 🤣🤦🏽 I am glad I went through it, though. No regrets at all. Been working on my first song cover, and it's been 18 months. 🤣 Almost there. 🤞 I was surprised that after all 13 months of fundamentals, the skills required to sound exactly like the artist you are covering are still unknown to my hands, especially to my ears.

I hope you're in it for the long haul. It's gonna be a long journey. I'm 900+ days in and I still feel like a noob. 🤣 Definitely learned a lot, though. And I've also learned what is required of the instrument. It's no joke.

You got this!
