In 2001, I set myself the challenge of learning to play guitar left-handed!
My goal was to practice for a total of 101 Days to see what progress I could make.
Why would I want to do this?
Two reasons:
1. To Become a Better Guitar Teacher
I want to better understand how it felt to be in the shoes of a complete beginner guitar player. How tricky does it feel to play an A chord? How long does it take to nail a specific chord change? What are the physical and mental obstacles that challenge us the most? What learning methods really work best?
Taking part in this process brought me closer to the beginner guitar experience, and I do believ it has helped me become a better all-around guitar teacher.
2. To Inspire Others
Learning to play the guitar again was a big challenge for me. It required time, commitment, and grit.
My hope was that if I could learn to play up to a “Camp Fire” standard in 101 days, it would inspire others to reach the same level in the same amount of time
My struggles and efforts are there to inspire your struggles and efforts.
If I can learn guitar again, from scratch, then so can you.
