Are there any skills you’ve picked up in the last year?

Guitar, at age 50, but I quit lessons for several reasons. I think piano, not guitar.  I may even remember violin, not guitar.

I had a band at age 12 with two gals who couldn’t play or sing.  Now I’ve a lovely guitar, a Seagull Artist Folk and hydrate it twice a week.  I need to play again.  Not that I’ll ever be good.  But I know I haven’t played for a while because I don’t have calluses on my fingers.  Now’s probably a good time to take it in, as a veteran guitarist advised me, to a local shop for several weeks to have a little work done.

She’s beautiful, though.  Perhaps if I named her I’d give her a little more attention.  I rebelled at my private lessons.  They weren’t giving me what I wanted, or what I needed.  If I get back into it I need to choose my teacher very carefully.  Thanks, WordPress, for the question, Dee

  1. I played today. Tuned first, then laid down on the bed and played without looking, some Peter, Paul and Mary standards, and a verse of American Pie. Hurts the fingers bad, but it’s the first time I’ve felt the chords without looking. My teachers would be proud. Dee
