1. It is a huge challenge to learn in a new way. I had an insane amount of resistance to teaching myself a previously unknown (to me) song by reading tabulature instead of listening to a recording or having someone show me how to play it. Two weeks went by, with me glaring at the written music every so often and saying, "No! I can't learn this way!!" Well, it turns out I can. It's just harder than I would like it to be.
2. I will probably never be one of those people who thinks they are too old to learn something new. I can't imagine running out of things I'd love to learn more about. This sometimes makes setting a specific goal a challenge. What about all the other things I want to pursue? What about all the other songs in this folder??
3. I often forget about the resources that are out there. I don't have to do it all alone.4. It is much more fun to learn (and PLAY) with company. :)
