I 've Got Blisters On My Fingers!

[sanderdude]

Hi All: I brought my new guitar home last friday. Haven't played for many many years. I Love my guitar so much that I can hardly not play too much each day. I am working on Satie Gymnopedie and Scarlatti #238 A major, and Cardoso's Milonga. They seem to be doable for a total beginner with tab.
Great downloads of tab at www.classtab.org. I learned to read music on the reed instruments, but finding the notes on guitar is bewildering. As a former flamenco player, I never felt the need to learn even tab. It was strictly monkey see Gypsy do.

Hi Brian: Some days are diamonds. Today was not. Yes it's the one I built. I've been trying to make some progress all day on Uma Valsa E Dois Amores by Reis. The guys on utube make it look easy. It probably is but yesterday I felt great about it and today I suck. Go figure. At least I'm not whining about the "new forum" anymore. One day I will post a song. Maybe after I have to close my waiting list for guitars!
