More Guitar

I thought I'd really like playing the guitar.  I really did.  But I didn't know I was going to enjoy it THIS much!

I'm in the stage of learning where everything is still new, so I'm learning things very quickly.  After only three lessons, I've learned four scales (well, three and a half), three chord progressions (well, almost.  That C chord is a pain in the...hand), four strumming patterns, and even parts of a couple of songs.

I've also realized that since the lessons are one-on-one, I can learn as fast or as slow as I want to.  IT basically means that the more I practice, the more I'm going to be able to learn this semester.  That means that I can get a lot more out of the same amount of money spent if I keep practicing and improving.

On Sunday, I played for 45 minutes straight and later in the day, I played for another 25 minutes or so.  AND MY FINGERS DIDN'T HURT!!!  HOORAY!  They were a liiiiiiittle bit sore, but it wasn't the same pain I was experiencing just a week earlier.  I think I played through the pain.

So now when you come to my house, you might hear something a bit more musical...

(Everybody together now!)

"WILD THING!  You make my heart sing..."
