I am prone to a sudden burst of enthusiasm followed by a two week (or so, generally) decline in interest. It maddens me. Can't I just stick with something, for once? I would love to keep practicing my guitar but I'm lazy. And frustrated. How can I kick my own ***? I feel burdened and smothered by that first, initial, familiarizing yourself with the instrument horribleness of sore fingers and thinking too hard. It brings me back to the early days of frustratingly bad clarinet playing. I think the reason I became so good at clarinet was not because I liked it, but because I was so damn frustrated- I would just keep practicing the same thing over and over until it was right. My parents made me practice as a child. How do you keep yourself practicing? Did you enjoy the beginning part where it hurt to hold down the strings and you couldn't get your pinky to hold down one string (forget about several strings) hard enough to get a sound out? HELP!
