need to figure out how to trick myself into learning guitar in a way my autodidact ego won't be injured by
that's a very cynical way to put it but it is more or less true
i threw myself into the concrete wall of [most personally meaningful song] for a dozen or two hours and eventually managed to fluently play the opening part but the moment there's chords and (probably) multiple guitar parts i think i hit the limit of what willpower alone can do
though maybe i just need to throw myself even harder at that concrete wall and eventually perhaps it will begin to show cracks
if i throw myself at several such walls at once, alternating one per day or something, will i slowly get somewhere? hmm
honestly it's not just ego, it's that music is a language like any other, and my experience of learning languages of other kinds tells me this is the only way to learn
an entirely true fact about me is that the first swedish i ever read was, out of necessity, taxation law
