Now that I've got to see wily, a horse playing the guitar!I trained horses for many years, still have a neighbor who does so professionally.
H.I'm fairly new to guitar and just wondering if I'd be better off sticking to one or two songs relatively heavily, or spreading myself a little thinner over more songs.
@H. Good question H! You can see here how people have different strategies and for some 1 is enough for others 5 is just fine. Important is what Matt says: getting songs finished (at some point not too far down the line). You need to get a version down that you can do from start to finish even if there are bits still to be worked on. If you don't you'll be forever flitting from tune to tune and never complete anything.
Satisfaction is a function of Completion (not just a Stone song!). Sounds like you should pick one song at a time to complete and have on or two to doodle with.
