Shoshin Guitarist: A guitarist who practices and plays with a “beginner’s mind”. Aim for a 1% improvement per day.
Shoshin: “Shoshin (Japanese: 初心) is a concept from Zen Buddhism meaning beginner’s mind. It refers to having an attitude of openness, eagerness, and lack of preconceptions when studying, even at an advanced level, just as a beginner would.” – Wikipedia
Guitarist: “A guitarist (or a guitar player) is a person who plays the guitar.” – Wikipedia

Shoshin has been my life
It seems like I have had a Shoshin mind all my life.
In my mid 60’s of age I have studied more than I did during my previous 35 years. PMP, SAFe certified, certified Scrum Master, hopefully a good grandparent.

Shoshin and Kaizen
I do admire what little I know about Japanese culture.
Shoshin is our beginner’s mind approach to learning new things.
Kaizen is a Japanese concept on how we seek iterative improvement in whatever we do. For me, I am Kaizen about guitar.
Enjoy your Guitar Journey
“Somehow, guitars make me smile.”
It’s not about being a great guitar player.
It’s about taking a Shoshin approach to learning guitar and to enjoying life.
