Barre chords, I stuck with them from day one and the dreaded F barre sounded crap for several months. Then it got better and better and I'm so glad I stuck it out. Have friends who've been playing for 5 and longer years and they still can't do the F barre, it holds them back from so many songs with F and Bm etc. Answer 4 is also a great one. Having a guitar handy to play at all times. It's become a way of life now. My wife has many times said how glad she is that I decided to pick up the guitar. |

OK, sounds reasonable!
Same reason, I guess, why (back in the 60s/70s) I used to curl the ends of my strings into loops instead of trimming them, because I thought it looked cool, which was because I'd seen a photo of Paul Simon where he'd done that. Probably this one, or one from the same period: Funnily enough, I notice there he's playing a Guild F30. That's not the reason I bought one in 1974, however. That was because it was a Guild and was cheaper than the D40. I wasn't that much of a Simon fan... As you'll see in this 1979 photo of me demonstrating my fingerpickin' technique on the F30, I was still curling those string ends.... Paul Simon, eat your heart out. (Nope, no photoshop trickery. Just the arm of a dummy. Along with the two arms of the other dummy of course .)
