fretting

25 05 2005

In my neverending quest to make myself more appealing to members of the fairer sex, I signed up for guitar lessons and got started on them last night. Some of you may recall that I started lessons a couple years ago, but my instructor was weird and not very helpful, so I only went like twice and then never went back, and my guitar (which was a birthday gift from my dad about 5 yrs ago) continued to sit unused.

My new instructor is named Roger and has been teaching guitar for 35 yrs, and I can tell after one lesson that he’s going to be much better than the last guy I went to. This is something I would like to get good at (assuming I enjoy it) so hopefully I stick with it (I think I probably will — I didn’t think I’d stick with the blog, but that’s been going for over a year now).

It’s way too early for me to start taking requests, but if you want to hear the little guitar line that repeats in Roy Orbison’s “Pretty Woman” I’d be more than happy to play that for you, although we might have to call it “Pretty Slow Woman” as I’m not too quick yet.

Rock on, kids! *throwing up double horns*

Hey, you can be a totally hot rocker. Look at Steven Tyler. If he was just a regular guy, no one would think much of him. But he rocks out, BABE magnent…otherwise it would be more like “Wow, check out that dude’s lips”. Guitar players are awesome. I’d like to learn. And you can seranade your lady..(said with french accent):smile:

Let me know how the lessons go…I have had a guitar
for 6 years and STILL don’t know how to play it. I get frustrated because
my hands are small. So tell me more about this instructor…

What do you mean Steven Tyler is ‘ew’? He’s a babe!!! Like, in an old guy way. Bizillioaire, yes, very enticing, but I would run away with him today

If Steven Tyler was just Steven Tyler, and not Steven Tyler - Lead Singer of Aerosmith, you would think he’s gross. Because he is. He’s not a handsome man.

You’re all crazy…maybe he’d be just another guy with a huge mouth. But money and guitar in toe, SUPERHOT. And Chris you might not think he’s hot, but I bet you’d sure like a little Liv Tyler in your life, eh?

Have to agree with zesty on this one. Thankfully Tyler is a rocker and can get the babes because of that fact otherwise he wouldn’t have had a snowballs chance at landing a Playmate and producing an Elvin Princess. Not sure, but I wouldn’t lump Rod Stewart in with Jagger and Tyler. I think the only old school rocker who is a billionare is Paul McCartney and he’s also the only one that I would consider normal in a not so disgusting sort of way. Seemingly average joe who has is all. I don’t think it’s really the money that attracts hot chicks to rockers for there are some really ugly and unfamous dudes around playing the clubs that all get the chicks. I think it’s the lifestyle and the drugs. Kind of how hot stripper date their dealers. Have to take it all with a grain of salt. If you really want to get super young chicks, start a boy band:lol:
I don’t understand why girls go for guys with money anyways. To me, that’s a hooker. Sure, financial security is nice but what if they lost it all? I had a buddy who was worth about $23 million and pretended he was broke and his father was a plumber.
