Learning to play guitar in 2016


   I have been helping Michelle learn to play a guitar for the last few weeks, and things have changed since I learned to play. One of the biggest changes is tuning your guitar, they now have digital tuners which make it very easy to be in tune all the time. When you first start playing you aren't really sure how it is supposed to sound, but with the tuner you know it's not the guitar it is you! One of the great things now there is everything you want to know, such as song lyrics, chords, tabs for lead guitar, plus all kinds of instruction are at your finger tips via the internet. Here is picture of our arsenal, including 8 track digital recorder ( thanks Mike). I wanted to be rejuvenated in my guitar playing I think the plan is coming to fruition.

I have been thinking we have lost something with all of us posting on Facebook. I have a lot of thoughts rattling around in this empty brain of mine that would cause some issues if posted on Facebook. The one thought I have right this minute, is there a better sandwich than a peanut butter and jelly? (eating one as I type) I don't think the sandwich thought would cause much of a problem, but my views on the current political election, gun control, far right religious right, etc. would set some people off and I don't have the patience or the will to deal with that!
