Personally, I spend all of my practice time trying to decide what
album to put on. It's much easier on the fingers than a guitar ;-)
I do admit that I admire greatly those that can play, but I can not
read music and trying to learn the guitar was a bigger struggle for me
than I had patience for. However I can control a volume knob with the
best of 'em.
