I have gotten it into my head that I should learn to play the guitar.
Forty years is much too long to have not played it properly. (especially considering that I HAVE LIVED WITH/PLAYED WITH/SLEPT WITH/BEEN MARRIED TO musicians for most of my adult life. Honestly! What the fuck was I doing with my 23 hour days when I was on the road with my bands? oh yeah, drinking and getting high...
But still! What the fuck did I do with my twenties? I honestly cannot fathom having so much spare time and doing so little with it! I didn't even draw back then! WE DIDN'T HAVE THE INTERNET BACK THEN!
But I digress ...
I've taken one guitar lesson so far, and it went better than expected. Don't get me wrong, I suck horribly at it. These fat littlehooves hands have become fairly adept at holding a pencil, but framing guitar chords is a very different animal. And my poor fingertips are all poofy and swollen (and sore AND numb .. dont' ask me how that works).
Also, while searching for songs to lean, I have accumulated quite a crush on Dave Grohl
Fear not, I have never, nor will I ever be into the bandom scene (see above for my rl experiences with musicians) but that doesn't mean that I can't drool now and again.
Any suggestions on songs I should learn? No. Not stairway to heaven.
I am currently working on Highway to Hell and Sorry, so that I can accompany Quincey's R&R vocals, and I'm also working on Times Like These (foo fighters, see crush above), and Lola, 'cause that's a great acoustic song.
