Dear Practitioners,

I’ve been playing guitar for so long that sometimes my fingers just kind of know where to go. Sometimes when I think of a sound I want to play, I just play it and it comes out right. And man, that feels pretty good.

It’s not like this is rocket surgery. I’ve been playing the same type of simple music over and over for thousands of hours. The songs are all very similar. I’ve just been able to pick up the patterns and structures in them.

But still, it feels good to get good at something. And it’s made those thousands of hours of practice and failure worth it. I look forward to thousands more.

Sincerely,

Mr. Heimbuck
