Starting from scratch
Congrats with your promotion!! It's true... life/work balance is crucial. I'm lucky that my job doesn't require me to check my e-mail or disturb my non-work time too much (for now). I think when you put your heart into wanting to improve at something you'll make the time for it, instead of being...- Imactuallyadrummer

Starting from scratch
So I’m kind of in your boat. At the very least I’m gonna reply to follow the thread lol. I probably can’t give “legit” advice since I’m kind of a newbie myself. But as someone who is kind of in the same boat as you - how many of the lessons have you done? They’re surprisingly pretty good at...- Imactuallyadrummer

About a week of total stagnation in progress as I followed the lessons and hit the CAGED system. Partially because of how complex it seemed and the fact that I had worked over a week straight of evening shifts and not getting to my guitar until past midnight (I reserved the time before work for...- Imactuallyadrummer

My background....which I have said in my intro post.... I basically never picked up a guitar before and am genuinely going through these lessons very carefully.

The lesson told me to introduce myself, hi!
Hi all! Hope you’re all staying safe and healthy. I’ve from Canada and as my name suggests, I’m actually a drummer. I’ve only recently picked up a guitar (quite literally) and I heard these lessons were geared even for those that were picking up a guitar for the first time like myself. I’ve...- Imactuallyadrummer
