10/6 UPDATE! Paul gave me a Taylor Big Baby today as an early birthday gift!
It's a really good feeling when something has been on your to-do list for ages and you finally get around to doing it. This week I had my very first guitar lesson. I had messed around on my mom's guitar, and even had taught myself a few chords before, but this time I had actual instruction from a real musician (thanks, BK!). I learned G, D, C, and E minor. I'm ready to rock and roll! Not quite. My fingertips hurt quite a lot after only half an hour, and my kind instructor gently persuaded me to cut my fingernails short (permanently). Now I just need to get a guitar! My bday is coming up in a week and a half, so maybe someone special will surprise me with a Taylor Big Baby... hmmm. Once I get the chords down, I want to learn folksy songs like Circle (Harry Chapin) and camp songs, and of course praise songs like Amazing Grace. I'll keep you posted...
