Maybe you should pick up Dance Dance Revolution and invite some girlfriends over – that always is a fun night with the Wii :-)

Every new song I learn is an achievement in itself, even if it's an easy song to learn, if I can make it sound good it's priceless. It took me only 1 week before I started feeling good about what I could do (but a lot of work went into it that week :)). I feel the same way you do about my Wii, I got it the day it came out and it's been sitting on a shelf for a very long time now!

Whilst I'm no guitarist like Ben and yourself, I can certainly relate to those emotions in my learning of a new skill.

Are you still enthralled with learning how to play it? As I was reading the emotions that we go through, all I could think of was the anticipation of buying and playing my Nintento WII (when they first came out). i got one before all of my friends, and talk about going through the curiosity, eagerness, patience, surprise and pride stages! I don't think I ever felt such curiosity or eagerness before. Of course, this was years ago and now my Wii just sits there, unused for the most part. I learned the skill and moved on :-) Interesting article, Phil and I can’t help wondering how long it was until you picked up the guitar until now.
