So I posted like 3 weeks ago that I found a guitar instructor and sounded from talking to him like we were on the same page. I was supposed to start last week but had a server project due at work so we pushed it off to this week. Now I haven't ever taken guitar lessons but had many years of trumpet and piano lessons. I picked up the guitar 25 years or so ago and just kind of started playing.
I know the first lesson is a lot of figuring out where each other are at but I plaid a couple chord progressions and riffs and we talked over where we wanted to go with the lessons and I think he got kind of nervous. He definitely knows more of the technical side of playing than I do and that is what I want to learn but I don't think he was expecting me to be where I am at in my playing. I got the feeling he was a little intimidated by me. I agreed to a month of lessons so hopefully it will go better and we will gain some ground but I have the feeling I may be looking for another instructor. I told my wife how it went and she said "I knew that was going to happen". When I asked her what she meant she said that I'm just a really good player and always have to be the best at everything I do and that can be real intimidating.
Well I have to go and spend 5 minutes to learn the stuff we went over today.
