I saw a post where a guy said he played Social Distortion's "Ball and Chain" on his brand new electric guitar. I haven't played guitar in more than a year. I got disgusted with my lack of musical ability so I just stopped. I couldn't remember that song. I almost started laughing when I listened to it. It's about the easiest song possible - 3 chords in a super easy strum pattern. That's it.
My goal by Monday is to pick up my guitar and play those chords until I get them right. I can even strum mindlessly as I watch speed chess online. Repetition and not dwelling on or - cough - fretting about stuff is key. Why by Monday and not - say - tonight? Um... Cat videos to watch? But in in all seriousness - I will do it. Just not right now.
