Learning to Play
Yesterday, I decided to learn to play the guitar. I looked online to find out who makes good guitars for beginners, and found a nice Washburn guitar on Craigslist. I picked it up last night and had my online first lesson, written by a man named Dan Cross, who seems to be the guitar expert at about.com.
He has posted a number of articles and free lessons, so I got started with the basics. I am practicing chromatic scales and basic chords. The scales are pretty easy - the chords are tough. I just can't get my fingers to do what I want them to. But, I will practice every day and see how it goes.
While growing up, I always enjoyed those people who could take a guitar and play songs. Singalongs, campfires, that sort of thing. And I suppose I have always wanted to do that.
We'll see how it goes! I'll keep you posted.
