Practice
I'm reminded this afternoon why I did so much of my studying at night when working towards the degree in computer science.
Today I got the electric guitar out of its case. The electric guitar doesn't make much noise when you don't plug it in, or so I hoped.
It would be nice to practice 15 min/day with the Leavitt books. I have one of studies and the other on sight reading for beginners. I used to be able to read, though not very well, for trombone. On guitar, I'm at the See Spot Run level. Aural culture won't get me much further than 12-bar blues and imitations.
Soon after I started plunking around, all three of them were lined up in my room. Timothee was telling me how to play. He wanted me to hand over the guitar. Diane was next in line. Emma, who'd been a little late arriving, was screaming that Tim was going to play too long when his turn came around.
In the time that I wrote this, they've lost interest of course. If I dare start playing again, they'll be back.
