Someone lent me a guitar - how do I learn classical guitar

I've invested in my own copy of Solo Guitar Playing 1 by Noad.  It's awesome for my brain.  I especially like that I don't need my gadget in the same room.

Started exercises 23 and 24 today.  The focus is on string 2 and the first three frets.  But it adds in stuff we learned from the previous lesson like open string 3 and the first string frets.

My brain hurts

But also, I'm looking forward to getting my eyes checked in a few weeks.  I cannot tell if it's worse with or without reading glasses.

Can't wait to practice again tonight,

Although second coffee is dedicated to the guitar, and I have have only missed one practice so far the day I ran out of coffee...i feel like my progress is slowing dramatically.

The noad book is great, but the notes are so much smaller and there are 5 parallel lines.  The tab in my ukulele Sor study book are lovely and only have 4 parallel lines.  

Most of my practice time this week ends up with a capo and using the guitar as a low g ukulele.  

The level of love for making pleasant sounds is still extremely high.  Just a feeling like the effort I put in to it before isn't yielding the same amount of progress.   Do I sacrifice time from something else and move it to guitar.  Or am i making invisible progress and just keep going as i am?

Don't know if I'm happy that there is a simple cure for my music reading problem or sad.  Eye guy says there has been a significant change in my reading glasses prescription.  Thankfully, my distance vision is still very good.

Guitar practice still every morning.   Very much feeling like I'm stalled learning.   But I have hope in a few weeks when my glasses are ready.

Solo Guitar Playing 1 by Noad, exercise 26 is so beautiful, but harder to play well than it looks.

Here's what it will sound like when I get the hang of it



And Here's what it would sound like if I had a teacher to play the other part.

I am deliberately taking my time on lesson 4 of Solo Guitar Playing 1 by Noad (looking up thread, I started this chapter on march 18th).  I know one is supposed to master the skills in about a week.  But I suspect if I skimp on these chapters, I'm going to have issues later on.

Also, the exercises are getting really pretty.  I want to keep on hearing them, so I play them until I they sound nice.  Then end up humming them during the day.

It's nifty how the flavour of the exercises changes with the speed and stroke types.  Today I took one of the exercises and tried to play it as chipper as possible and then the same song as slow and mournful as possible.   It's like a completely different tune.

Wow.
Glasses might be the solution.
The notes look very different now
