Does anyone else who's fairly new with the accordion ever feel like quitting?
I seem to be getting worse at playing, not better. Simple tunes I could play last week; now I can't get more than 2 bars in without making a hash of it, no matter how many times I try. It's been like this all this week, to such an extend that after 10 minutes playing cr*p the accordion is put away and I go off and watch the telly. The next day I really don't want to pick it up again because I know it's gonna be rubbish, and sure enough it is, so after cursing and swearing and stomping around it's quickly put down again. I managed around 15 minutes of cr*p this afternoon before I wanted to smash both the accordion and my stupid fingers. The accordion is now back in its case, and I don't know whether to ever bother getting it out again. I'm beginning to feel that I'm just flogging a dead horse and that maybe {} are not for me as I'll never be able to master even the simplest basics.
Maybe I should stop wasting my time, and go and learn how to play the triangle!
