i am inspired

i've had this particular guitar for a couple years

pick it up now and then

pound out some power chord punk rock

play a few bass riffs i remember

then it sits unloved in some corner for awhile

they say as you get older it's good for your brain and longterm cognitive efficacy to learn a new language or a musical instrument

my efforts to retain spanish have been half hearted at best

but i'm currently inspired to learn to play the guitar like it's a woman waiting to be played

-
these are not guitar playing fingers though
no sir
i could tell you what they're good for
in fact i could give you a list of names
people who will tell you what they're very good for
but that's a story for another time - never mind that
-
in the world of guitar playing
i'm certain these fingers are the equivilent of having a handicap
nonetheless
i wanna do this thing
and i'm sure i'll only feel like corky for a little while

3o undisciplined mins tonight - including the unplugged power chord punkapalooza meltdown i have everytime i pick it up - i'm going to learn chord progressions though - eventually - but my finger tips are sore already - have to toughen them up some before i get too serious

tonight it's C major to A minor

tomorrow we'll see if i can remember which is which and where my fingers go
