I play guitar. I’m not particularly good, but I’m not bad. I taught myself about thirty years ago and now I can strum along with most songs. And, as you’ll be hearing soon, I am okay to play on my own music.
But, I can’t play lead guitar. I have sat, or stood, open jawed in awe while others have picked up the guitar and wandered their fingers over the fret board. I still get goose bumps when I hear Dave Gilmor play the lead lines in Comfortably Numb. And I want to be able to at least add a little lead to my recordings.
So, I have been practising my scales. Normally I give up after two or three days but I am keeping up with this. I’m not great yet, and for someone who can strum quite fluidly, going back to slow, measured and read notes is a little frustrating.
If you want to do something, do it, go for it. Even if when you start you find it hard going.
