At the advanced age of 35 I've come to realize that I need to know more about music. I played trombone for about ten years from elementary school through high school, but was never required to learn much music theory, like what a chord is, or how stringed instruments work. It hasn't really been enough. Maybe it's hearing music from people who are immensely talented at playing it, like Annie Clark, or James Burton, or Aimee Mann, or Dave Catching, or maybe it's seeing all those beautiful Pawars on Instagram over the last few years... who knows? I always enjoy learning new things, and life is short, and there's no time like the present, so why not give it a the old college try?

So I've picked up Guitar for Dummies and there's a music store near my house that has teachers on staff and a plethora of videos on the old YouTube that seem insightful. Gonna give it a whirl and see what happens.

Who's your guitar hero?
