I’m all set to beginning learning the guitar. I have a pretty good start on it. As a music teacher, I had no piano so I used a classical guitar to play chords behind the students as they sang. I don’t consider this being a seasoned guitarist though. I know I’m a hack player.
I bought a guitar techniques book to use with my electric guitar. The premise of it is to learn techniques of the guitar in 30 days. I can’t barely play the first one. My fingers don’t stretch that far. The author has me playing these oddly constructed chords with voicings that I never use as a horn player. Then I must flawlessly transition between each chord change without a squeak, break, or missed note. Yikes. I think this will be more like a 30 year workout at the rate I’m going.
Otherwise I have my equipment. A custom built classical guitar with brand new strings and a humidifier. Also Gibson Les Paul and a Rivera Knucklehead with a 4×10 Marshall cabinet. Good gear makes you a good player right? HA! I suck, but I’ll get there.
Day one lets tango for a fifth time!
