Any musicians out here?

If it's convenient and fun, you'll pay more often, without the need of "discipline".

Put the guitar somewhere in the way, near a comfortable chair, and leave it always plugged in and ready.

Learn to play a song you like. Keep it simple, just the melody... Then maybe the melody and a single-string rhythm. Keep the sheet/screen near that chair

Don't be too embarrassed to use labels to mark frets or strings. It'll help immensely and you'll remove them when it's time.

Funny you say that. I've played the piano at the old Ryman. Was on a tour of the building and spied an old piano in the back ground and started playing a few tunes.

The tour guide didn't say a thing just started laughing
 
I have a few pentatonic scales I practice at various areas of the guitar. Lower end to keep my fingers wide, higher end, as the action in higher and needs a little more pressure.

I work on them slow and work up the speed and do that for half an hour. Find that keeps my fingers working well and keeps my picking familiar with string placement etc.

I have a couple of songs I just plunk along. Electric, some Iron Maiden, Black Sabbath. Judas Priest. Acoustic, Eric Clapton mtv unplugged album, extreme, more than words, and some old standards. Keeps me busy for an hour or so. Then I pick up a song I want to learn and focus on that. Set list grows. Lol

I’m a bit spoiled with a thin neck guitar and light action. When I pick up a standard acoustic, the frets are larger and action harder to play.

Was flipping through YouTube last night and came across this and thought of you:


It's a real guitar hooked up to the Rock Band video game. They've done away with coloured boxes scrolling through a moving fretboard and now with the fret numbers, it's much closer to moving tablature. It looks like the closest thing to actually playing a guitar. In fact, you can even plug this Squier into an amp and play it like a real guitar.

Looks like a pretty fun way to learn how to play. And since this game was released quite a few years ago, I'm sure you can find a used setup for ultra-cheap online.

There are three videos in this series, if you've got the time to watch them all. I found all three interesting.
