Ever since I was a young girl I have tried to learn how to play guitar. My sister was taking guitar lessons and she hated it, so I took her little cheapo guitar and started teaching myself chords.  I took lessons starting at age 8 and the only thing I ever learned was to play open chords. Over the years I have had 4 different teachers.  I practiced in my room for at least 3 hours a day until my late teens and never got any better.  I always felt handicapped in this area and it has been painful to know how much I want to be able to make  beautiful music and just cannot do it.  I started lessons again when I was in my later 20's and got a little better by adding some melody to my open strum noise.  It is like I can learn one thing badly and just can't get past it.  I try and try to get past the baby steps but never advance.  Practicing was never an issue, I dedicated my time to learning but there is something missing in my mental makeup to play music.  I took lessons again in my thirties and the same thing.  Just terrible.

My husband is a drummer and he decided to learn to play guitar.  He picked up my guitar and within a month he had surpassed my skills that I had been working on for over 20 years on and off.  I get discouraged and give up after about a year of constant training with no results.
I kept my guitar all these years and open it up to smell it as the smell is perfume to me.  I sometimes still try to play some songs, but even my strum is bad.  It is like I have one strum for all the different songs I play.  Bad!!!  Really bad. 

It is pitiful for the amount of time I have put in to playing this beatiful instrument.

Untalented,
Michelle
