I decided to take a step back and look at how far I’ve come. I found the very first riff I learned, “Enter sandman” and watched myself....no palm mutes, tons of extra strong noise and playing it all on one finger (no power chords)
My guitar journey has been short, and often times I don’t feel like I’ve made much progress, but then I see old videos and realize I HAVE made progress, even if it’s slight and that’s motivation to keep going ! No matter how long it takes !
