I bought a guitar and, if I may say so, I’ve made a considerable progress since Thursday. There is a fundamental flaw in this statement but that’s just nitpicking.

(I’ve actually played guitar once before, in school. We were forced to learn how to play various instruments during a year (or was it two) and I was terrible at it. I had no motivation at all. I also remember pain in my fingers afterwards so I suspect that the guitars we used back then had strings of steel. Anything to supress ideas of grandur and talent I reckon.)

This means that right now I’ve progressed far longer than I ever did before. I even remember the chords without looking in handouts on the floor. In a moment of clarity and sudden insight I decided not to learn the Swedish note and chord system, mainly because it confuses when I learn how to play songs from the Internet.
