A few days ago I thought to myself, "I should really have a go at playing guitar now that I have a makeshift stage." So today, as soon as the weather was nice enough to take my guitar outside, I grabbed a book of chords and a ukulele and set about learning some songs. But when evening came in and I had only managed one song on the ukulele, with all my fingers bleeding from trying to learn "You Don't Have To Be A Star". It looked like it was going to be another night in for me. I thought back on what had been going wrong. The first thing was that I had tried to learn the guitar chords from the book, which at first I found really difficult because I accidentally played them with my right hand. Next time I tried, however, I went out onto the street and simply started strumming. As soon as my hands got good enough to actually play some tunes, they felt comfortable again! The other thing that had been wrong was that, once I'd started playing properly, phrases would suddenly stop altogether because I hadn't worked on them long enough or hard enough. So, after a while, I would stop and think about how to work it out. I thought back over the day and realised that I'd been going about my learning in a completely different way to what had made me particularly good at computer programming. Computer programmers learn by writing programs. When they write a program, they give it a name and then begin to work on it. Sooner or later they find that they have made some mistakes in their program which is not working properly. They fix those mistakes and then begin again from scratch with the next thing they want to do with their program. This procedure can go on for hours. In order to get used to the feeling of programming, though, I had been doing it in a different way from when I was learning computer languages. Instead of writing a program and then finding out where the mistakes in it were, I would run it in a simulator until I knew what the right answer was going to be, then delete all the code that made all its answers wrong and begin again. So that night, I decided that it was time to learn a song on the guitar and then, instead of going out onto the street every day and only trying new chords on the ukulele all evening, I would come back home and spend the whole evening working on my new guitar-playing technique. In order to make sure I was learning correctly, though, I made a practice diary. Every day I would write down how many times each chord worked out in my head during the day. That way when it came time for me to write down all the songs that didn't work out in my head, I would know exactly what each one was doing wrong. eccc085e13
