Pauper is a Tree Hugging Healthy Money Manager

Inspiration in funny places 1 week ago

Was at work today talking to a senior associate and saw guitar tabs on his desk. Tells me how he got back into playing, how much he enjoys it, how huge his collection of instruments is, and I rediscover how much I love and miss playing music. Not sure how I can incorporate playing my guitar into my day when I’m a single parent of a toddler with a 2-hour commute, but I have to nurture self as much as I nurture others if I want to be all-around happy.

Bass... 5 months ago

My bass playing isn’t bad. It’s not what I’d call GOOD, but it’s not bad. Between the bass & the bits of percussion that I’ve been able to add, I feel like I’ve made a minor contribution to the instrumentals we’ve recorded.



Switching to bass... 5 months ago

It’s not really THAT difficult & hubby HATES it because (for him) it’s boring. It’s more than enough to keep me challenged, though.

He also bought me a tambourine & some shakers.

We’re laying down a lot of music tracks for some of the other writers in town & he seems intent on making me actually PLAY on some of them. If all I have to do to keep him happy is play a little cowbell, then life is pretty good.

Hubby needed a bass player tonight... 5 months ago

so I’m sitting in. I’ve never played bass before so this should be a trip.



How do I get to Carnegie Hall? 6 months ago

Practise man, practise! By the end of the year I want to be able to play the guitar better than Eric Clapton, Joe Satriani, Jimi Hendrix and Tommy Emmanuel put together.



I want to play my guitar more 6 months ago

I want to be able to play a song somebody recognizes. And to be lean enough in my fingers to start the band coach thing, if i want to.

I want to start with playing one of the songs from the nick cave book my love gave to me.



Pixies songs 8 months ago

I’m going to start with teaching myself Monkey’s Gone to Heaven and then Wave of Mutilation. I found the guitar tabs online.



I'm learning to play all our songs... 8 months ago

Thankfully, hubby will be there to back me up so I won’t have to carry the whole show… I can handle rhythm, but I’m glad he’s got lead…



Tuned 8 months ago

Tonight I tuned my guitar. At last! I played a few chords but I feel really out of touch. I think I’d like to get some private lessons. I did some lessons last year but the tutor was terrible (really disorganised and way too many students) and I just didn’t really get excited by playing ‘what shall we do with the drunken sailor’. I will investigate this further.
