Everyday I wake up thinking about playing the guitar and every night I go to sleep thinking why I didn't do it and watched TV instead.

    Aren't those two things that could very well go together?

    Laying on the couch with the guitar and just lazily plinking around sure seems like a vibe.

    You’re right. That would be great. Now tell me why I’m still not doing it.

    Practice takes commitment. Guitar is rough because you need to keep your fingers limber and calloused. Even if you manage to memorize the chords, pick up enough music theory to understand progression, or just copy an existing song, you have to keep at it for a long time to get good.

    The best weapon i've seen for this is rocksmith, which gameifies learning.

    but, if you re' like me, and well we're here right? you'll buy it, commit enough to start making progress the forget to unsubscribe.

    Playing or practicing. There is room to zone out and practice but more often than not practice is hard work. Which is why I don't do it 😭

    Dunno if OP just means playing, I struggle with being able to just pick up the guitar and make sounds with no structure so I can't relate
