Just get started and that's really the best way to "learn" with anything creative. Just do and you'll figure it out as you go. Don't feel intimidated because at first it's just you and your ideas.
My best creative song writing is at the endow the day. I keep a guitar next to my bed, so that I try out new tunes, then I cheat by turning on my Super Snark (tuner) to capture the notes of the melody. Next I jot them down on old envelopes that my mail was emptied from, then put them in a journal. I'm really picking up momentum! This is so rewarding. As I have time, I use my loop pedal to play chords, then individual notes, &/or finger pick harmonies. You are right. The more you do regularly, the better it gets. Thanks for encouraging us out here in the world of music to do these exercises. It's really so much more fun than playing covers. Im on it!

Fantastic Shane! Writing every day keeps the wheels greased.
yes I think so!
Shane all I can say is thank you.
Thank you for the music, thank you for being a badass, and thank you for this post.
I just watched the interview with SJC and he seems to just get it.
Thanks! This is something I'd like to learn how to do, but have been intimidated to try.

Just curious. Is your Mojo Monster Picking lesson a book or audio-video?
it's a PDF book with audio MP3s for reference and playalong.
