When do you consider you’re no longer ‘a beginner’?

[jeffrey-mcfadden]

And here I am, only a few months in and already thinking about going busking when (if?) The crummy weather ever passes.

If I ever get to the point where I’m not a beginner I’ll let you know, but meanwhile I know a bunch of songs from my guitar days, and the harp with its cookie cutter chords is wonderfully merciful.

To some who have replied with years of experience claiming to still be beginners: meaning no particular offense, but it ain’t so. Just ain’t. “Still learning,” yeah, OK, that’s as it should be, but don’t make it sound like those of us who really **are** beginners won’t have made any significant progress in a decade. The harp is not incomprehensible. We will learn, if we put honest effort into it, and you surely already have.
