Three Years Playing the Electric Guitar – Month by Month Progress
Here is my progress throughout my first three years playing the electric guitar! I started playing guitar in January 2016 as an adult beginner and I've been entirely self-taught through the help of the internet. Since I already have 1 and 2 year progress videos, this one focuses more on year 3. I think the thing I progressed most at this year was starting to figure out how to use the guitar more creatively to express myself :).
I played almost every day when I was able to, usually for an hour or more. However, I have been dealing with an on and off nerve injury in a fretting hand finger, so I was forced to take probably a little over a month off over the course of the year.

To keep the video shorter I only included limited clips from years 1 and 2. If you'd like to see more of what I learned over those years as well check out Year 2: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R4KmpaOZ2R8 and Year 1: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yXpj1ifleec 🙂
The transition from a frustrated teenager to a music loving jolly girl was on full display here.
