    How are you feeling?

    Must be great being treated like an adult by yer family. And have yer boundaries and decisions respect. Unfortunately, I don't get that. What with being the youngest o' my immediate family. I've always got tae people please, and do what everyone else tells me. As well as having justify my...

    How are you feeling?

    Depressed and really unmotivated. 😔 Like I constantly have the weight o' the world on my shoulders, and I'm rarely, if ever, allowed to take time for myself. I'm also pretty irritated that my sisters are now getting on at me about how our mum's been doing, lately. Asking me why she's feeling...

    Some pretty good feedback on my recent guitar riff idea. Even if the most recent one is something a former guitar teacher said of my approach to the guitar. Not that I'm offended, it's brought back that memory. 😂🤣

    Pissed off. :mad: Really 🤬kin' pissed off. Gordon Ramsay levels of pissed off... The more people that I interact with, the more I realise that: most people are 🤬ts. Exceptions being, of course: my mother, the consultant surgeons that over saw both operations on my legs in my early teens and...

    Other people's comments that floor you

    Earlier this year I had my guitar playing skills compared to this legendary guitarist... twice! Even though I don't consider myself as being anywhere near Eddie's level as a guitarist. But then it generally floors me to get positive feedback and comments about my guitar playing. Mainly because...

    How are you feeling?

    Quite nervous and a wee bit intimidated about getting back into taking guitar lessons again. It's been 17 years since I last had a lesson. And my previous experiences with getting taught left me feel more frustrated and disillusioned than happy. Anyway, I've signed for monthly online guitar...

    Should I sign up for online lessons with this guy? 🤔 His name's Tom Hess. I've been going back n' forth on it for a few months, trying to decide. Ever since ah signed up for Tom's newsletters that offer tips on guitar playing and songwriting, he's been emailing me. I also got a free PDF file...

    Here's a couple more riff ideas that I came up with yesterday, but recorded today. Just variation on this melody and guitar riff that I came up with earlier this year.

    How are you feeling?

    Well... things don't seem to be getting any better. That's nearly month now. I'm at my wit's end with everything that's going on. My advice falls on deaf ears, as it always does. But then I don't know how yer supposed to help someone who refuses to help themselves. I also don't see the point in...

    How are you feeling?

    Depressed and really frustrated. Struggling to find the motivation to keep going. Wishing my life had turned out differently in many ways. Due to my mum's recent health issues, I've been completely neglecting myself, as far as my own well-being goes, just to make sure she's ok. And I'm...

    First my guitar, and now my audio interface goes and dies on me. 😟 So, I go back and buy an interface I'd bought and used previously from Amazon: the Behringer UMC404HD audio interface I got it the other day, arriving at the weekend there. Ah unbox it, getting hooked up to my computer, and...

    Really mad right now... Got my recording setup 99% done and it's currently useable. Ah got and plug my electric guitar in and find the input jack is knackered. Not keeping a signal, it keeps cutting out. 😔😡🤬
