So I've been learning the guitar since about October, started off religiously doing an hour a day. Now do a steady 3-4 hours a week. I've gotten better but still only know 10 or so chords and when I learn a new one it takes me ages to be able to change fluidly to and from it (currently on C). How long till I can book the Albert Hall?

Also, putting your slippers in the washing machine is perphaps the noisiest things you can do. It sounds like a live badger trying to get out.
