Dear Learners,

I’m trying to get better at playing fingerstyle blues guitar and I’ve found that mostly what I need to do is get stronger. I need to grown a thicker callous on my thumb and get my fingers used to playing for a long time. And the only way I can do that is by playing every single day.

I think most of learning is about building callouses. We get stronger as Readers, writers, and thinkers and we find that we can focus on our tasks for longer amounts of time. Then, we find that we can read more, write better, and solve more difficult problems. But it all starts with that focused, daily practice.

Sincerely,

Mr. Heimbuck
