I own 2 guitars, one steel-string acoustic, the other an electric guitar with a small portable amp. I've had them both for a few years now and I can't really play and I don't know any music per se. Lately, I started playing the acoustic guitar. You wouldn't know I can't play a lick of music if you stumbled upon me and only listened for a minute or two -- it's playing the same thing over and over that gives it away.

I just picked it up one afternoon, morning, who knows and started strumming. I had rhythm, I knew a few chords and away I went. Very mellow sound with a nice melody. And today I got a little bored playing the same thing all the time on the acoustic so I went down to the storage locker and pulled the amp out.

Now I just finished playing the electric guitar for the last 20 minutes or so. It was great fun and I sounded almost better. Electric guitars are so much more forgiving... I think... and I think I was told that somewhere along the way too. So I just finished putting the electric guitar down because, as with the acoustic, I got bored playing the same thing.

I'm thinking lessons are in order. Anyone want to contribute to the lesson fund? I really believe there is a lot of music in me waiting to get out.... who believes!?
