no, Veronica. not a pony, a guitar. yeah, i just bought that. i'm the worst impulse shopper ever. i blame [livejournal.com profile] foxant10. i'm all signed up for lessons and everything. what happened to clothes shopping? i don't know. i'm seriously not going to be able to eat out for, like, two months though.

it actually wasn't that bad. i got the guitar, gig bag, stand and beginners chord book for $200. the lessons are $20 once a week. my next door neighbor is a musician. so i may see if i can get him to show me some things after i get comfortable with it.

here's hoping it's not as difficult as piano proved to be and i learn how to do this. i've always wanted to play an instrument and if couldn't be piano, guitar is the next best thing. plus, it's really pretty. *g*

power chords!

surprisingly, a lot of the good rock is only three chords.

Power chords take care of most metal. I think the end of 50% of all old Iron Maiden songs was a three chord power chord riff where it goes (fret postions on E,A&D strings respectively) 5,7,7 - 3,5,5 - 5,7,7. (Or 7,9,9 - 5,7,7 - 7,9,9) My old band in highschool started doing that at the end of every song just because, even .38 Special's "Hold on Loosely." No, no one actually watched up play this as our biggest basement crowd was 3 people. I was the singer then. I'm way off topic and babbling. Too much caffeine. ;)
