Guitar Update

I mentioned a while back that K and I had started guitar lessons with a group of mates that K used to work with. We have one week of "Beginner Lessons" left.

The time has flown, and whilst we have not practiced as much as we should have (mainly because good practice involves an hour a day - I think our record is about 2 hours a week :-), we certainly have learnt a few things in the 12 weeks since starting.

We have our "gig" next weekend - all the classes from beginner to super advanced will converge on a local pub in Kyalami, and thrash it out to a live audience. Should be a real hoot - especially given the fact that all our practice has involved reading the chords directly from a book, and there will be no books on Saturday...

Amongst the songs that we'll be playing: Knocking on Heaven's Door, Let it Be, Stand By Me and Wonderful Tonight.

Will keep you posted on how well (or not) it goes.
