Two pivotal moments almost made me quit playing guitar – These challenges taught me valuable lessons about persistence, plateaus, and reconnecting with passion after difficult times.
• Progress isn't linear – plateaus are normal and require persistence
• Practice consistently but efficiently – "practice on the days that you eat"
• Balance learning new challenging skills with things you can already do well
• Life circumstances like grief can temporarily disconnect you from playing
• Think of your guitar as a friend you want to talk to daily
• Set realistic, progressive goals to move forward efficiently with your playing
• At 55, I'm mindful of making the most of my time with guitar
