I might think of a seemingly pointless exercise and run it into the ground just because I'm curious. The results are usually positive, as it allows me to do something unconventional. Overall, the work is partly an end in itself. I love studying music and this instrument, and putting all this time in is a joy regardless of the results. In the long run, I just want to devote my life to creating and studying music. Short term, that translates to getting good enough to make a living at this and do it full-time indefinitely.

It's difficult for me to find ten hours in a week to play guitar, let alone a single day. Too many demands on my time, job, family, even my dog. But I need to ask: do you have a goal in mind for all this work? Where do you want it to take you? I'm impressed and jealous.

I have always proposed myself to study by more "precise" ways but I haven't managed to do it yet. Well, a very interesting thing to do.
