7 months.

December 7th, 2010

This is my 8th month taking actual guitar lessons. I can’t tell if I am progressing at a decent pace, since I have always noodled around on my own. I joined a “band camp” with a bunch of musicians of different types. Some orchestra, or guitar, and whatever. I suck at theory, so it has been a struggle.  We usually end up having fun though, and there are a ton of laughs.

My teacher wanted me to learn MIDNIGHT (j.satriani) and it was FRIGGIN hard, but it is fun. I naturally love to use percussive technique on my guitar since I played drums for years. So, while it was difficult, it felt natural to learn a piano-type of playing – if that makes sense. I still can’t play if all the way through without screwing something up, but I am working on it  :)

I think I want to learn another Buckethead song though.  After I learn all these damn MODES!
