I'm a total beginner. I've never really been passionate about playing. I'm a visual learner, artist, craftsman. I am a woodworker/chainsaw carver/timber framer. I'm hoping to learn to expand my creativity into this other realm. I'm 68 and wanted to learn an instrument. I have no grand dreams to become anything other than a casual player. It's a personal endeavor for me. Your course seemed low stress so I went with it. I'm glad i did. I like the " non perfectionist style to the lessons" although it is a challenge sometime for me not to lock into one thing until perfected. "Show up, trust the system, focus on the little wins." So far, so good. thank you for putting it together. I feel it's well worth the investment.
