Frans bought me a beautiful guitar for graduation. I bought him a cool leather bag. If you ask me, I think I came out ahead. But he might think differently.
For the past three weeks or so I’ve been taking guitar lessons from a UH grad who lives nearby (and who I would HIGHLY recommend if anyone’s looking for a good teacher). I already knew how to play a few basic chords, but she’s been teaching me some cool stuff (barring, picking, theory) that makes everything much more exciting than just boring chords. Today we worked on some barred chords and it was like things just CLICKED – oh, you bar two steps up from an A minor and get a B minor? Ahhh, I LOVE it when things make sense!
I’m trying to think of some songs to work on. This week was totally Eagles week, but what’s next?
I think I said this on the page for your pictures, but I’ll say it again — nice guitar! Frans is a good man.
