Eric Makes Music

Eric Campbell

I’ve been wanting to learn.  Found one on craigslist for only $15.  Yep that’s right!

Looks like some old Sears & Roebucks model.  I don’t want to spend any money on a serious guitar until I know that I can really play this thing.  But, I’m excited!!!!

Jumped online and found a bunch of free tutorials.  Pretty much stayed on the one from about.com all day.

I think I spent about 3 or 4 hours on this thing today.  Learned about 4 chords which is enough to make a song (*thumbs up*)

I’m having some trouble getting the fingers on my left hand in place so that I am only pressing the strings I want. Since I already play the violin I figured my fingers would just fall in place.  Not so!  I’m going to have to work on this.  I need to try some other guitars too cause maybe these strings just need to be pressed a little too hard to connect with the fretboard.

Anyway, so far so good.  I’ll keep you posted.
