Update on Claude AI teaching me to play the guitar:
Day 10 - I’ve got down 14 chords, one pentatonic scale (Em) the basics of down strumming, the beginnings of basic music theory (chord structure, circle of fifths, a little bit of harmony), and I’m beginning to be able to scrape together the chords to my first song which is of course “Knockin on Heavan’s Door” by Dylan.
*** Don’t give Claude too much credit. I live at the intersection of obsessive and hyper-focused. I tend to miss things until I agree that I’m intrigued, and then I’m intensively in. Probably spent an equal amount of time being deeeeeply frustrated by Claude and his hallucinations. Having never used AI before this, the learning curve has been extreme. I’ve learned so much about the guardrails, his prioritizing efficiency over thoroughness, and blatant disregard for well structured prompts and system preferences.
If you have helpful tips, for guitar or Claude, please feel free to leave them.
