Hi everyone. Just want to be honest with you all. I'm not feeling very motivated to play this week. I've been doing the foundational things Tomo suggests: 1212, chromatic scale, R37, blues bassline, learning triads, but I'd appreciate any suggestions and support you all might have for me. I am tempted to get down on myself, but I know that is not the answer. I feel a bit anxious and want things to go faster. This is why I have Tomo's T-shirts to remind me of these things. I just wanted to be real with all of you. I know I this funk will pass. Thanks for listening.
Thank you Scott for sharing your feeling! That what I exactly feel sometimes! We are humans and we are expecting a lot of things nice way (perfect way?) but many things are not going as your plan or as you feel.
This is my personal experiences and my personal suggestion. I just don't listen any negatove or even when I am not motovated to do things. That's why I decided a few things that I don't have to think about it and I do without my expectations.
Maybe you need to have other options:
1) Listening
2) Play songs (Rhythm guitar or melody)
3) Play anything and try to make it sing (try to get nicer tone)
Don't worry!
Don't compare!
Don't expect too fast!
Be kind to yourself!
No matter what... I feel thankful and grateful.
- Be Kind To Yourself Today!
- Don't Expect Too Fast! (Patience is key)
- Stop Comparing Yourself! You're So Special!
- Don't Worry! (Nothing can change today)
Thank you!
Tomo
