Guitar update
Still playing, although not as much as I should. Got in touch with a bass player - maybe after the holidays she and I can get together and that will be more practice for the both of us! -
so blue
We've been going through basics of riffs lately. Today, we went through some blues riffs, the kind that you hear when everyone's standing on stage getting ready to take a break, or just just coming back from one, or the bass player is bored. What's nice about these is that it's very easy to change from one thing to another without doing anything ( Read more... ) -
Pinball Wizard
My ring finger is like Jell-o. I've been learning to play Pinball Wizard this morning, and now that I can make barre chords better, I've discovered that my stupid human trick with my fingertips has some useful purpose. And it tires my fingers out like crazy.
I have noodle-y fingertips! But apparently I can only cast Spaghetti Spear at this point. -

GEETAR!
I took the day off, not because I want to celebrate Evacuation Day, but because I knew I wouldn't have enough weekend time. Since I couldn't do my guitar lesson on Saturday, I managed to snag a Monday morning time ( Read more... ) -
Linkies THURSDAY
I just realized I haven't posted a Friday's Linkies in awhile, probably because I was just so busy.
So I spent my lunch hour looking for links. I was going to do a Tax Edition Linkies, but it's too nice of a day to think about taxes.
First, there is the Singing Kittens link. There is nothing informative about this site that I can tell, but you ( Read more... ) -
More Beatles
We continue with our Beatles kick this week, which is fine with me. Today, I started off with Michelle while Sam was tuning up his guitar. He asked if I wanted to start with something easier, but I felt that Michelle would be okay ( Read more... ) -
It's Resolutioner Time!
If you are a newish gymrat, you probably are wondering wtf with all the people pouring into the gym and when they'll leave. Those are mostly what I call "resolutioners" and they generally decide to turn over a new leaf in the new year, and get fit, eat right and so on. So they join a gym. Some of them are winter gymrats, people who prefer to ( Read more... )
