Stairway? Freebird? Let's try scales first...

Today I did something that I have been planning for a few weeks.

Ever since Christmas, and my brother introduced me to a video game that isn't entirely unlike not playing a guitar-like instrument-type thing, I've had a little creature nibbling away at my cerebral cortex. The guitar would be a handy instrument to learn a little. You could use it to accompany yourself on folk/cabaret/cafe songs. I've been told that a handful of chords is all you really need to know in order to play 90% of the songs out there, so I thought I'd give it a shot.


After weeks of comparison shopping, getting recommendations from multiple places, and reading numerous websites, I decided to buy it today.

I've been practicing finger work, scales and a couple chords today for a few hours off and on. I think I need to stop for today until my fingertips regain feeling.

This will give you a whole new appreciation for Tommy Emmanuel.
