Hey Tom, what happened to that song challenge? 12/23 '14
I've rediscovered something: some years back, I practiced harder and got better than I remembered.
And at that point— let's call it "peak guitar—" I was almost-not-quite-really good enough to tackle something like this.
Not that it would stop me, because I was also cheerfully shameless about being crap at things. That comes with being new to something as simultaneously wonderful and difficult as dance.
But: I'm not that good anymore. I decided to major in salsa and that was it for the guitar for several years. I have a hill to climb again, in terms of guitar ability, and also in terms of regaining my shamelessness.
So I need to figure out when I can practice without terrorizing my household (*), practice really a lot, and then take another good look at this.
But if I find myself inspired to write a few new four-chord songs along the way, I will surely share them.
(*) We've figured out that guitars are played in the basement, before nine. Both of which are very reasonable expectations.
