Ow... my fingers hurt... the tips of my left hand are turning into peeling calluses and the fingernails on my right are wearing away quicker than I can grow them. I'm back practicing for hours every day, and this little instrument is being mean to my hands. I haven't spent this much time on an instrument for years,probably since I left music school. Its kind of incredibly frustrating and kind of incredibly calming... - the hours go by, its just you against the music and trying to achieve the sound that you can hear in your head and that you can't quite arrive at yet. Very clear cut thing to be doing. And a beautiful thing it is .. Mahogany, rosewood, abalone, spruce, flamed american maple... such lovely woods that it takes to make a good guitar...
