Yeah, the music-making gets slow when you don't have too many friends around. I was thinking about just dropping off the face of the map and ignoring this blog, but I decided to keep it for when we get back to school. So far, I've been learning quite a few new songs, but I really can't bring myself to record them without a vocalist, since it's about the same chord progression over and over again. Some new songs, though: Let Her Cry by Hootie and the Blowfish, Unwell by Matchbox 20, Mr. Jones by Counting Crows, and What Sarah Said by Death Cab for Cutie. New picking song: The Devil's Tears by Julia and Angus Stone.
On another note, I've been getting back into photography again, so I may post a link here if I get something going.
When most people think of a G-string, they don't picture a guitarist. But trust me, it hurts a whole lot more to snap a guitar string than *that* kind of G-string. Learning how to play the guitar can leave a mark.* In fact, it leaves a lot of them, namely callused fingers and short nails. And of course, the occasional welt on your hand, if you happen to snap a G-string. Hopefully you'll be able to avoid that lovely hazard. The only way to find out is to pick up a guitar and start playing.
