This summer I've been taking a guitar class at Austin Community College. I have always wanted to learn an instrument of some type, so I'm pretty pumped to do this.

About 3 years ago, I bought a guitar at a local pawn shop with the intention of learning how to play it. I signed up for a course, but it was a little too fast paced for me. The only thing I go out of it was that I learned about 7 christmas carols, plucking one note at a time. I was just a one trick pony for quite awhile.

Well I finally got around to getting my butt in gear and I've been going to this class for 4 weeks and really doing the practice exercises for about 15-20 minutes a day. I've really enjoyed taking some time for myself each day. We've learned lots of cool blues tunes and rock riffs along with just starting to master the chords and strumming patterns. It is so much nicer than Christmas carols.

So we'll see where this leads. I'm just taking it slow and trying to enjoy the ride.
