just venting here, but yesterday i could do this part no problem with my eyes closed, and today i cant get it to save my left, ive literally spent the last hour trying to do get this whole part right and i cant :/ i swear there was a moment i almost threw the guitar across the room :/

Just keep practicing is all I can say.

yeah if I was a guitaristr I would have thrown many throughout the window, thanks God I play piano

im a very laid back person, and i really find playing relaxing but idk i got so angry there for a minute... I put the guitar away cuz i was scared i was going to break it in 2 :/

Good thinking. This happens to everyone - I have days where nothing sounds right on the guitar, my fingers don't work properly or I just can't get something.

best thing to do is leave it - come back couple of hours later, or indeed tomorrow

fucking picking hand :/ i hate it lol... I can finally the fret the notes and chords i want after much practice, then i cant pick them lol.. cruel humor :/

i read something today though i thought might be interesting to try its called "preparing a picking stroke" so its like when you can practice it, and isntead of just picking the note, there is 2 motions, one where you lay the pick on the string, and then the second motion where you actually pick. i think im going to try it tomorro for a 5 or 10 mintues and see if its worth practicing now and then.

i suppose it was the fretting hand too, it feels slow moving back and forth :/, but also i think my picking hand wasnt in a good mood, i went to fingerpick someting and it was like UBER slow :/ So shitty im playing so bad i dont even want to do my daily practice cuz i think ill be moving backwards lol

quit your instruments, become a juggalo rapper, profit

Practice isn't meant to always be fun

But one you master the riff / song you were working on its all worth it

me too
