Learn guitar?

The whole reason for the selfsufficientish website was to offer a place where anyone can ask, HOW DO I...? So who knows why it has taken us so long to have a HOW DO I? section, but here it is. So if you want to know how to do anything selfsufficientish then here is the place to ask.

When you listen back you will probably cringe but, if you can resist beating yourself up too much, you should be able to pick out things you can do well (look for more opportunities to use and refine those tricks) and things you struggle with (to be targeted with practise until you can do them well).
I second this motion. Great thing to do.
I view the world vicariously through comedy. Don't take me seriously.

Well, as long as you're not overly given to self-criticism... People keep telling me I'm quite good, but I think everything I've ever recorded is unbearably dreadful and listening back to it usually makes me want to quit forever.

With playing guitar on any musical instrument for that matter, I always thought if you can play in tune then it's only a matter of practice before you're any good at it. And if you can't play in tune then don't even bother trying.
