What The World Needs Now...

Is Another Guitar Player

Tonight I picked up the guitar for the first time since Sunday May 14th - a little before Katie's guitar lesson, the second day in Tempe. I didn't realise until just now that it's pretty much 2 months to the day. I wasn't sure if I was ready for it, but listening to Cracker, I couldn't not try. It went suprisingly well. Avoided open chords as that kinda hurt my shoulder reaching down that far, however playing from the 3rd fret upwards, albiet carefully, went fine.

It's funny how it seems like these days I go for long periods without playing the guitar. But after my finger tips really started to hurt after an hour - something that I haven't experienced to this degree for 15 years, when I first started - I know that I certainly do not go 2 months without playing! I obviously pick it up for frequently than it seems.

The session pretty much consisted of working out Teen Angst, Duty Free and The Great Decline. My fingers smay have softened up over the two months, but my ear certainly hasn't, it took no time to work them all out. And we great to play. As it was to just play again at all!

Suprisingly, while i was worried that it might be a bad move, my shoulder felt noticibly better after playing!
