The journey, step by step14 steps
Final rehearsal. Ran the whole thing front to back four times. Three of them were clean. Tomorrow I record it for real — whatever comes out is the one that counts.Jun 24
Ren and 28 others stepped with Marco
That impossible song, now at three-quarter speed. The chorus finally sounds like the chorus instead of a rumour of it. Nearly there.Jun 3
Kofi and 27 others stepped with Marco
Picked a song that's plainly too hard for me, on purpose. Slowed it to half speed and started chipping at the intro one bar at a time. Ambition first, ability catches up.May 14
Sofia and 25 others stepped with Marco
First time playing with another person — a friend on the cajón keeping time. Turns out staying in the pocket with someone else is a whole second instrument to learn.Apr 22
Ren and 22 others stepped with Marco
Recorded myself and actually listened back the whole way through. Painful in the first thirty seconds, useful by the end. You can't fix what you won't hear.Mar 30

MilestoneMar 8
Played for my parents in their living room.Shaky hands, wrong bridge, forgot the second verse — but they sang along anyway, and my mum pretended she wasn't crying.
Reached with Sofia and 21 others
Barre chords. The wall every beginner talks about hitting. Tonight the F finally rang out clean instead of buzzing like a dying bee. Twice, even.Feb 10
Ren and 19 others stepped with Marco
Restrung it myself for the first time. Cut my thumb, tuned it a whole step sharp twice, and finally got there. It sounds brighter now, or I'm imagining it.Jan 15
Sofia and 17 others stepped with Marco
Played by the tree on the last night before everyone travelled home. Half the notes were wrong and nobody minded — they were too busy singing over them.Dec 20
Kofi and 14 others stepped with Marco
Learned my first whole song. Three chords, played badly, but all the way through without stopping to find my hand on the fretboard.Nov 28
Sofia and 15 others stepped with Marco
First clean chord change. G to C, over and over, until it stopped sounding like a mistake and started sounding like a decision.Nov 2
Ren and 13 others stepped with Marco
One week in and my fingertips have gone numb at the edges. Someone in the comments said that means it's working, so I'm choosing to believe them.Oct 5

First stepSep 14
Bought a second-hand acoustic off a guy two neighbourhoods over. It smells like someone else's house and one tuning peg sticks. Fingers, meet strings.

Stair repeats until my legs gave out. The trail wants hills, so tonight the city's longest staircase stood in for one.Today

Priya and 3 others stepped with you
Track night with the running club. Flat and fast is a different sport, and my trail legs hated every lap of it.Aug 3
Idris and 2 others stepped with you
Ten kilometers without stopping. In March that number belonged to other people.Jul 21
