Sad but True

I haven't picked up my guitar since October.  And before that, I last picked it up Dec 2009.  Yikes.

So you'll understand why I hesitate when I call myself a "guitar player".  But I did take lessons for 5 years and I did make it to Mel Bay's Book 5.  Do I remember any of it?  Not really.  Maybe if I looked at it.  

My music "career" started at age 7 when I started taking piano lessons.  I took those for 10 years, so I'm decently proficient at that.  I'm not going to be spouting of Rachminoff any time soon, but I can play one Bach invention and the Harry Potter theme, among other things.

I really want to get into playing (and practicing!) music again, and I have things I'd love to learn on the piano and the guitar.  I might forsake the guitar for bass, but I would have to own a bass for that.

I also can't wait to share music with my son when he is older.  Right now he enjoys banging the keys on the piano and chewing on the drumstick for his drum :)  

So this is my jumping off point.  I spent some time recording at Chris's house and this is what we came up with that sounded good.  I hope to continue it!

Proof that I can play three notes on the guitar over and over

I hope to track my progress on here.  I wish I had something cool to have on before this project is due, but alas.  Looking forward to Christmas break to begin my quest to get better at the guitar!
