Black Dog
This week I learned Black Dog on guitar, by Led Zepplin. Very much fun. Next week I'll be learning the Beatles' Julia, from The White Album. I can't wait. I'm pretty blog-lazy these days. That is all. Catz rule.

Two New Songs
I've learned two new songs this week on the guitar; Black Horse and a Cherry Tree (by KT Tunstall) and Bombtrack (by Rage Against the Machine). There are no words for how awesomely fun Bombtrack is to play on the guitar. The Tunstall song was tricky at...

Sunshine of Your Love
It's no wonder Eric Clapton has been inducted into the Hall of Fame three times (once with Cream, once with The Yardbirds and once solo. No Derek and the Dominoes, I guess). Anywho, he's so awesome. I learned how to play Sunshine of Your Love on the guitar...

Learnin' the Blues!
I'm starting to learn the blues on guitar, which is a genre I've never played in the past. I made a video of my first blues song ever that I just learned this weekend. I still stink at playing it, 'cause I'm all awkward and clunky, but I'm posting it...

Guitar Vids: Blackbird/Revelation Song
Here are my first guitar videos. I messed up a few times on Blackbird cause for some stupid reason I get nervous when I record myself. However, I can't be bothered doing a hundred takes, so it is what it is. I can play it error free at proper tempo in...

New Instruments! Yum!
I noticed Tristan wasn't practicing guitar consistently, so I told him he could practice with my electric. Ever since then, he's been practicing regularly, without having to be reminded. If he's not picking up the acoustic, what's the point of lessons...

Wake Me Up When September Ends
Today, I learned Green Day's Wake Me Up When September Ends , including the guitar solo, which is super easy. It's quite a nice song to play.

Melissa, by the Allman Brothers...
is the song I'm currently working on for the guitar. I like it lots. I found an electric guitar decently priced that I'm going to buy Tristan. When he plays the electric, he's inclined to practice much more, and I don't want him playing mine because it...

Should I Stay or Should I Go?
The Clash. Very cool song. And it only took about 1 minute to learn it. It sounds great through the amp.

Sweet Home Alabama!
I know Sweet Home Alabama by Lynryd Skynrd completely by heart now! It only took my about an hour or so to get it all down. It's great fun to play!

Ziggy Stardust Awesomeness
I'm so glad I bought an electric guitar. David Bowie's Ziggy Stardust just wouldn't be the same on an acoustic. I plugged in, turned up the overdrive on my amp, and I'm rockin' it out. w00t!

Pardon My French, But...
My new guitar is freakin' SWEET! With a portion of my work bonus I treated myself to a Marshall MG15CDR amp with reverb and a new Ibanez AS73 Artcore electric guitar. It's a maple hollowbody with humbucker pickups. I may never leave the house again.
