Goal: I know, it sounds cliche. But as a music lover I really am shocked I’m not contributing more to music, rather than just consuming it. I’ve tried to teach myself bass and 6 string guitar before, but have never followed through to any great length. So in the spirit of pushing myself, I’m going to set myself a goal of being able to site read basic songs on the 6 string guitar by the end of the summer. If I’m feeling really frisky I will aim at having my first guitar song written up by the end of the year.
Previous efforts generally died because I simply had a book to follow, which lacks, frankly. Now with this “Internet” thingy I can get free lessons essentially. Here’s my collection of links so far:

Status: Ongoing. So far I’ve tuned my guitar and learned the D chord. Oh, and of course “Smoke On The Water”.
If you know D you can play “Still Water”, by Daniel Lanois. Congrats.
We should jam sometime.
