It's Better to Practice...

...than to spend the time writing on here!

Today I busted out the guitar around 5pm, and went through my exercise routine. Practice is making perfect (though 'perfect' is still pretty far off). I came online to find some simple Christmas tunes to learn, but most of them are still over my head skill-wise. However, I did spend a bit of time working out America's "Horse With No Name" all by myself. Now if only I could sing (haha)...

Real School notes: the latest songs Erik has introduced into my lessons and homework rotation are Mojave 3's "Who Do You Love" (16th notes - YIKES!), "Summer Breeze" by Seals & Crofts, and "Everything (Between Us)" by Liz Phair. I only have three classes left this semester (which makes me sad). I hope I can come up with the money for the spring.

And on a "What is he listening to these days?" note: I have Owl City on the brain. Which is odd, because one of the main points of learning how to play guitar is low-tech music (and not 'super-synthed' pop). What can I say? A good song is a good song, no matter what instruments are used to create it. ☺
