I didn't practice my guitar enough this week because I was ill, but I'm also running up against some other problems. I'm too much of a perfectionist and I'm having trouble forcing myself to practice when it sounds, frankly, awful. I also don't seem to get my darn hand to be able to do what I want

I had my first guitar lesson last night, and it was really neat! I learned (or attempted to learn) three chords, whose names I don't remember, because I haven't memorized them yet. Unfortunately, I also learned I had to cut my fingernails all off. I was vain about my fingernails, which were often m
