My birthday is coming up later this week, so everybody send me cash. No, really. However, I have gotten a gift already. It’s from Erin, and it’s a guitar! I’ve been wanting to get one for awhile now, but have always had something else I’ve needed more at the current time. But now, I have one, and I have no excuses.
So far, I’ve learned a scale, and “A Horse with No Name” (well, at least the chorus). I really need to work on strengthening my fingers, since they don’t seem to want to go where they need to currently. That’ll come with time though. She also got me a soft case and a nice chords book. We were looking at intro to guitar books, but I can already read music and stuff, so I figure I may as well just jump right in. Plus, there’s free stuff on the intarweb that I can use for that. Ah, the intarweb. Is there nothing you can’t help with?
Be sure to learn to read tabulature and check out http://www.olga.net/ for pretty much any tab that anyone has written.
yeah, i can read tabs, but thanks for the link 🙂
Update…
Just learned a new song, Matt Nathonson – Angel. I can even sing with it. I’m that l33t!
