Going from zero musical ability and knowledge of music theory to composing and playing jazz, classical and hymn. I've given myself a year to do it and documenting my progress every day: https://write.as/poseur-to-composer/about

Cool, it takes time. I picked up the electric guitar, again, I am aiming to be a decent guitarist in ten years. I currently play bass in a hobby metall band which is fun.
How did you stop your fingers hurting?
Practise. Short sessions often. Better 15 minutes every day than 2 hours on the weekend.
I bought a guitar the day I found Justin Johnson on youtube playing some killer blues on a 3 string shovel-guitar.
