In the fall of 2007, I decided to learn how to play the guitar in my spare time. This is my story, tracking my progress from the 18th month after I started back when I knew nothing. The four primary genres of music that I enjoy are classical, flamenco, ki ho'alu and Celtic. Perhaps I will be good at this by 2019.

Mcfarlane's lute lessons can help guitarists
I stumbled across Ronn Mcfarlane's music while listening on Pandora. The video above is of his composition, Indigo Road, from his album of the same name.
That led me to his website and there I found his lessons for learning the lute. While browsing through these, I came to realize that his study methods can apply to any musician.
These articles from his series, Beyond The Basics, are particularly useful.
