We All Just Want To Be Big Rock Stars!

Got my first real six string

Bought it at the five and dime

Played it till my fingers bled

Was the summer of '69

Well, actually my wife bought it, and not at the five and dime but rather the Home Shopping Channel (or some other shopping channel).

I did not actually play it until my fingers bled, but I did play it until I could do a chromatic scale that was decipherable and the tips of my fingers are a little sore this morning.

And obviously it was not the summer of '69, but rather the summer of '06.

Blown away. My wife bought me a guitar. This is the coolest thing she has done since she bought me a .40 caliber Glock pistol back in 1995. I don't care about the "Esteban Cheesy factor" either. Its a freakin' guitar and it's better than the one I used to have, oh that's right I did not used to have one. My wife rules.

The DVD is decent too, covers a lot in 90 minutes and is really designed to be taken in small chunks. It consists of 20-30 lessons and the idea is that you go through it slowly and rewind it (a lot) until you master each section. Hopefully by the end of the year I will be able to play "The House of the Rising Sun".
