aww, if it helps any, i've been at the guitar since the age of 10 - on and of - and i swear i played better back then than i now do as a musician!

i liked this post, Scott, it's really well-written.

Breaking the practice up is very good advice, as is regular practice. It also helps with getting into the flow, as it takes the massive pressure off having to sit through regular disciplinatory practice sessions!

Makes me want to pick up that guitar again, now! :)

Glad you liked it. During my research I found that Guitar Gear finder article which I thought was fantastic as well.

A little every day can turn into a lot. I probably need to pace myself a bit :)

Love this! James Clear also has this but about “forming identity”. Each action you take is a little vote for a piece of your identity. If you write a little, once. Then you’re probably not a writer. If you write some every day, that’s more like a writer. Building your identity is a key part of building habits that support the identity you want.
