Finally going to start learning my guitar!

It's been sitting there goading me in the corner of my room and I think that now is the time...

Ok so in the month leading up to the beginning of Uni I decided to buy myself a guitar in anticipation of the many spare hours I had, in order to gain a skill that had always interested me and just to have plain old fun. The thing is that things have not quite gone to plan in the following 6 months. Instead I have wasted away many hours that I could have spent learning my acoustic guitar which has since seen itself relegated to the corner of my room literally picking up dust and nothing else more. Hopefully that is about to change..

I purchased a book, I read all the websites and I added all the Youtube videos to my favourites yet things never really kicked off and this is one of my biggest regrets of the academic year so far: my lack of motivation in getting this guitar thing started. In truth I know how hard it is for a complete novice to teach himself from scratch but it can be done and I have seen it done so in truth I have no real excuse because these days there are so many resources out there to make use of.

So this article is sort of a written form for me to look back on and read whenever I am in a lazy mood and decide not to pick up the guitar. I truly have not got a single excuse to ignore it any longer and so hopefully I will be able to write soon of my progress on the instrument.

If anybody has any comments or tips for a complete novice then feel free to comment!
