Keep doing your best and your best will get better.

I was teaching my wife guitar today.

We were focusing on the G chord, using the middle, ring finger, and pinky, so that she could more easily transition between G and G7 without having to move ALL her fingers.

This wasn’t how I initially learned to play the G myself, many years ago.

The way I learned was easier to learn, but made that transition between G and G7 more difficult.

So this is day three of teaching my wife guitar, and understandably she’s struggling with the G.

To give any non-guitar players an idea of what I’m talking about, G involves having one finger on the bottom string and one on the top.

Which isn’t too bad of a stretch if we’re talking about using the index and pinky fingers.

But with the way I was teaching her, she had to stretch her RING finger and pinky finger to make it work.

And I don’t know about you, but if I hold my hand out with my fingers stretched, and attempt to move my pinky finger down by itself, I can’t.

The ring finger always comes along at least halfway for the ride.

So Marina tried as hard as she could to play that G, but it wasn’t working.

Nor did I expect it to.

It’s not something that a person can expect to do on their first attempt.

Sometimes even doing your best is not enough.

But if you keep doing your best, your best gets better.

And eventually the things you can’t do become the things you can do.
