Whoop Yeah!
After being the taxi today for the kids, I managed to spend alot of time playing guitar. God, I love it so much
, but sometimes I swear I understand why people smash them. I started playing hard again after hearing Jack Johnson. I thought, boy that is some nice chill out kind of music. I can do that. Well 7 months later, I still can't do it. Don't get me wrong when I play it kind of sounds like jack. You can tell what song I am playing...but that's about it. There isn't very much soul in it. I haven't figured out what I am doing wrong, but maybe after another seven months, someone will say "wow, that's Banana Pancakes, That sounds awesome" Well maybe not, I will settle for Marty saying "you knowI used to cringe when you would play that, but it sounds really good now honey." Needless to say I have moved on from strictly playing him and have branch out. My guitar teacher 
has me playing sweet emotion by aeromsith. Okay anyone who knows me and my folk roots knows that this is a huge stretch. Aside from my tongue dangling out of my mouth (seems to happen when I concentrate) Marty and I are starting to play that one together and it doesn't sound that bad. Tonight we played Beverly Hills by weezer. Again it doesn't sound bad at all, but the boredom look on Marty's face when we play that one is priceless. I guess the bass line in that one isn't so stimulating. Poor guy I think he feels like he is playing in the dummy class when it comes to playing rock music with me. Who knows, maybe if I keep practising as much as I have been, I should be able to rock out by summer. Whoop Yeah! ummm Yeah right. Anyone want to hear Blowin in the wind?

Hey I happen to love all the old folk music on guitar. At least I know what people are playing then. I dont have a clue when it's just guitar I need vocals as well. But cloassic rock and folk you know a mile off. I'm glad your playing more you are a guitar women and it's nice marty plays with you as well but i bet he really just loves having someone to jam with and isnt bored at all..............
