Habit Maxxing - Learn Guitar and Compose a Song

Habit Maxxing: I Composed a Song!

Yes, a song!

For the first time in my bloodline, I wrote lyrics, created a tune, and composed a song. All of this comes after just six months of playing the guitar.

Just six months. I bought my guitar back in January 2026 with the simple goal of making practice a daily routine. I strummed regularly and spent hours practicing individual songs to understand how music is actually formed. Reaching a point where I could see the underlying skeleton of tunes and melodies was a game-changer. I realized that just learning wasn't enough, I wanted to apply it. So, I started experimenting with my own ideas, which eventually grew into full compositions.

To my surprise, the music reached a good number of people, and they actually loved it! Maybe I need to invest even more time into this, but for now, I'm definitely keeping this habit going.

  And lot to come...

For me, this was never about mastering every technical detail of the guitar. It was just a childhood dream to strum a guitar once in my life. Seeing that dream evolve into writing and composing my own songs feels surreal.

There is still a lot of work ahead, but this journey taught me something important: a habit isn't just about logging hours; it's about who you aspire to become. Others might find it hard to understand, but that's because it's your aspiration, not theirs. Today, I can say I am a guitarist and a composer. (I know five basic chords, progression and strumming patterns)
