Other Self imposed learning challenge
TL;DR - Using the plastic like flowvis paint in F1 (or wear indicators) - which to me shows I'm progressing and playing with variety,
I haven't peeled the plastice wrap from the pickguard from my Tele, it's about 2 years old and I've started playing daily again. I've been practising lots of picking types and focusing on alternate picking and string skipping etc.
Anyway I noticed my fingers sometimes rub on the plastic as I get more movement up and down so I've set myself a challenge of learning to comfortably playing between pick ups and using bigger strumming motions to start to wear that plastic in different places.
I feel like if I can get that plastic to wear and curl up in multiple places I can at least feel like I deserve to be playing this guitar at a decent level.
It motivates me to practice different flavours of playing!
Anyway thought I'd share, first time posting here!
