Guitar as catharsis

Guitar progress

When I play my guitar all my pain....all my loneliness,  it just disappears and I focus only on that. I've become obsessed with it. Im no good at playing, but I love it so much.


I wish I had a friend to share these things with. Sometimes when I pull off something unexpected I want to run to someone and share what happened, but nobody there. 


Or I wish I had a friend that knew about guitars that I could meet up with and they could teach me and we could bond over music and guitar playing. I miss having friends.

Thank you. Even though I'm not very good at guitar it blanks my mind and all my stressful thoughts go away. I wish I did this a long time ago. My fingers are very large so it's hard to play chords but I'm hoping I'll figure out a way to successfully play it soon. Strangely enough, the complication of playing it adds to my love of it. Which isn't like me at all. I finally learned to do harmonics and pinch harmonics (though my pinch harmonics are flat at the moment) I'm hoping to learn blues and some folk metal. Maybe even Metallica. And lynard skinnard is way harder that it sounds.

I wouldn’t be surprised if you did an Ozzy cover, in tribute. I’ve been seeing soooo much online! The Enter Sandman covers using boomwhackers are awesome <3

Having trouble learning the A chords. Fingers are so big it makes it hard to get right. Plus my transitions to other chords are so bad. But I guess thats how everyone, or most ppl start out. Do you have any tricks or tips to share for a bigginer
