My Guitar Learning Notes for One Week This is my second weekly KaizenGuitarist journal entry. I hope that someone finds this on the Internet and finds it useful. Thursday: 2/8/2024: Practice without and with My Guitar Today I spent 8 hours involved in getting my car repaired. There are no guitar practice rooms at car…
My Guitar Learning Notes for One Week This is my first weekly KaizenGuitarist journal entry. Last week I stopped doing daily blog posts because the time requirement was too high.
