Beautiful guitars guys! Wow. In a fit of boredom I picked up my old Eko hollow body electric this weekend after receiving a pentatonic scales book from Amazon.
Let me start by saying I've been playing on and off for 50 years...and have no talent whatsoever. I can play virtually every chord possible but cannot play anything that sounds musical. I don't sing so Blowin' In the Wind doesn't cut it.
Well...about 2 hours in, I threw in the towel. No idea where fingering through pages of tab to play these scales is going to take me. It's cumbersome, time consuming and again...completely non-musical. My dream of becoming the next Joe Pass screeched to a halt.
I truly believe that to enjoy anything...it requires at least a small amount of natural ability. Every time I see a 9 year old absolutely shred a guitar on Facebook, I'm reminded of that fact.
On to other pursuits.
