Not sure if I accomplished anything in terms of advancing the skill, but I sure got tired.

    After 4 years of playing guitar I started playing drums lol, it’s so relaxing. You don’t need to think, don’t need that finger gymnastics, it just comes to me naturally like I’m born for the sole purpose of drumming. Playing something poppy like Coldplay Yellow with a few beers after a hard day is just muah

      I didn’t know that Karen Carpenter was once voted best drummer in the world until recently!

    Then it was worth it. Playing ability only goes up, so rock out those boring noodling sessions.

    Even if you didn’t make any great advances, your muscle memory still improved, your intuition deepened, and besides:

    Q: what did you today?
    A: I ROCKED!

    I’ve been playing guitar for 14 years and its not u til the 4th or 5th that I started feeling competent, I played about 4-8 hours a day as a teenager.

    Music is hard, you’re not going to play 1 day and wake up with newfound skill the next day.

    if you keep having fun and playing frequently you will wake up one day to realize you’ve been playing for 14 years like me 🤔

      Been playing for 20+ years myself, I’m getting fucking giddy over learning bass again. Heck, I’ve been learning some Alice In Chains on acoustic and I’m having a blast! Also learned jigsaw falling into place by Radiohead. But 2 years ago I didn’t know these songs and thought they were out of my reach, but got pretty stoked when I got them, felt like I finally got “good” at guitar 😂
