I certainly started out with rock and early on gravitated toward blues. I don’t even remember how I got into classical, but found it immensely satisfying, mainly because it can be played on a guitar as standalone solo music. When somebody asks you to play something on the guitar, it’s nice to just be able to pick one up and do it–no band, no singer, no drummer, etc… I didn’t intend to get to the point where I am now playing only classical, but it just happened; it was such comfortable and satisfying music to me.
Also you can usually do it at home and not worry about disturbing anyone.
Because you’re fingers are fat and unruly ! Don’t sweat it , your fingers will bend to your will it just takes time. There’s a thread in cafe society and I’m afraid to post there because I have such a low opinion of myself and my tunes suck . Practice and keep your axe in your hands all the time . Even in you suck like me after a couple of years you’ll be able to do well enough to play with a pro. DON"T GIVE UP!
Do you mean…THIS THREAD!?!?!! :mad:
Get in there, soldier. That thread has people of all different musical styles and skill levels. By your rationale, everyone else in that thread, myself included, should be fleeing in shame from Beadalin’s husband.
Seriously, though, you should post. We’ll be gentle.

A tip from a friend of mine who has been playing for a long time – make television your friend. Use it to help the time pass while you’re working on things that require lots and lots of boring repetition.
I totally do this. I’ll watch TV, with the sound off and closed captions on, and play the guitar. I do this 4-5 nights a week, easy.
That, and it’s a good time to goof around and try things that you might not otherwise do. When you are playing with others, there can be a lot of pressure to sound good. A lot of players won’t do anything that doesn’t immediately sound good.
If you’re just watching TV, you can experiment and play your own music, even if it’s not good.
