I borrowed a guitar from my sister’s boyfriend and tried to learn it. I picked up a few chords right away and then learned some more and then some more. My knowledge of the piano helped when it came to what chords go with each other and how to play a minor chord after learning a major chord. I learned fast but there was no passion. I mean, there was passion but it was in the fact that I was playing music. I had no passion for the guitar itself. The piano just makes sense to me. I can hear how it should work. Finger placement makes sense. The movement of it. The rhythm of it.

So, I’m not going to spend time learning the guitar anymore. It is a wonderful instrument but it just isn’t the one that clicks with me. The piano clicks.

Oh well…. what’s next on my list?

Well, there’s not much I can do with this goal until I actually own a guitar. =) Until then I’ll just look through my Fender Guitar Chords book and dream.

How much is an acoustic guitar? Couple hundred? About the price of an iPod?

I guess step one is to put aside a little money here and there, throw some Christmas and birthday money in the mix and save, save, save.

Ever heard of the gas station, Quick Trip? During the summer they have a special deal on soda. Thirty-two ounces for forty-nine cents. It was niiice! I could run up there and just grab a quick 32 ounces during one of my fifteen minute breaks at work. I love the carbonation of those soda fountains! Well, now the deal’s over. So though this is sad, now that I am trying to quick my soda drinking, it is a good thing! I’m still drinking soda only three days a week but now I’m drinking two soda cans (24 oz) as opposed to 32 oz.

Getting there.
