I started taking guitar lessons today. I bought a Taylor 314ce on eBay, have been playing it most every day for the last two weeks, and today began my journey into the extensive world of what I don't know about how to play guitar. Bass is so much simpler in many ways. I mean, who knew there were picking and strumming "patterns?" Like there's some method to this rock and roll stuff or something.
It's fun, and hard, learning new stuff. I don't have the practicing gene built into me, so I'm gonna have to be disciplined about making time to play. My intention is to actually get better, so here's me hoping I can keep my focus long enough to actually practice and get good at this stuff. One upside — my guitar teacher lives 0.2 miles from my house. I walked there. Yes, in LA, I walked. We do sometimes, you know.
I'm not nearly good enough yet to record anything for anyone to hear, but maybe someday I'll post audio up here. I've convinced Owen to sing along to You Are My Sunshine while I play it — that would be worth sharing if I can get it captured on audio or video. For now, back to Dust In The Wind.

Hi! Thanks for stopping by Twofer Thumbs - I can't imagine a Medieval Times wedding! But then again, we got married on Halloween and ppl think that's strange. Anyway - my brother taught himself guitar and then took lessons and it's a great skill to have. Have fun with it but play a little every day and you'll get better.
