Today I had my first guitar lesson! I think I am really going to enjoy playing. He asked me if I listened to any guitar players and I said yes (doesn't everybody?) then he asked who... and I went blank.. I had no idea who to say - so I said I grew up listening to Eric Clapton. So he took that and ran with it and now I'm learning to play some blues! How exciting. This is not just learning to play the guitar - I'm learning some music theory (which I desperately need) and I'm learning to be a bit creative -- he gave me a set of notes (a pentatonic scale, to be exact) and told me to play around with those. I'm gonna be a rockstar! ok, not really, but I am so happy that I will enjoy these lessons.
p.s. - Thanks to Mom and Nathan for teaching me a few chords - he was totally impressed with how quickly I picked up the chords.. but also I hate you because he skipped the 'easy' F chord and went straight to the bar chord - my biggest fear.

Oh also I saw about the medium on drum thing however many posts ago...alison...what is it with you and stealing my thunder eh? Ha, just kidding glad your getting good at positively superfluous activities! (sorry I have to release sarcasm where I can...cas Uganda is not the place to be sarcastic if you didn't notice)
no worries my dear, i can take it - and btw, danielle's xbox broke.. so i can't play either guitar hero or rock band
Don't forget Stevie Ray Vaughn, Chuck Berry, and of course, the Great Fatsby, Leslie West lead singer and guitar of Mountain. I should have played Wes Montgomery for you and Julian Breem, my bad. Oh and Buddy Guy a little.
