Ah ha moment
As a beginner, I'm sure there will be many such moments in my guitar education. One of these times happened last night as muscle memory finally kicked in. I was strumming a simple I IV V progression when my fingers found the C major on their own. They just fell into place naturally, Pretty cool for a newbie.
Now back to your regularly scheduled program.

Those are great moments. To compare it to your other passion - sort of like hitting off the tee and you never feel the club hitting the ball. It's when it all comes together.

Thanks guys! Since buying a guitar that's set up properly, I've been playing a lot more. Partially because it fits me much better and also to justify my purchase
Mark, there are a lot of parallels between guitar and golf. You hit the nail on the head with the most notable similarity... great results can come out of an effortless execution. Of course, playing guitar can humble you just as quickly as playing golf

Very cool!! thanks for sharing that.
And the good news is, no matter how long you play or how good you get, you can still get those moments. Always something new to have fun with.

That's very true! I've been playing (or playing at) golf for over 8 years and I suck at the game.Of course, playing guitar can humble you just as quickly as playing golf
I've been playing guitar a little over a year and feel that if I put the same effort practicing towards guitar as I have golf I'll suck just a bit less at guitar than golf.
