These are of course basic songs that someone like nostatic, gogar, or any of the other guitar gods here could literally learn in 5 minutes, but even the basic ones take me several hours a day for several days to get down start to finish. Which I usually enjoy doing, when I'm motivated.

But after all that, when I have it down, it is somewhat disappointing, because then it seems so simple. And, by that time, I've heard the song so many times, gone over it so many times, and deconstructed it, it kind of ruins the song for me.

I'll learn 5 or 6 songs over the course of a few months, get bored, start to think "Why am I doing this??" then put the guitar away for a year, two or more.

That's me to a tee!
