I have been in the midst of a lull. Puzzles and games. No projects, unless you count the Nysidra card revision, which is on hold. I'm pissy about it.
Anyway, while on a lull, I think of things, things I could do.
Currently, I'm thinking, "I'd really like to play an instrument that doesn't cost over 2k to own."
I played piano. While I could back into that... I'd like to try something else.
What about the guitar? I mean, I liked guitar hero. Guitars are a dime a dozen. My cousin even has one under his bed. I could find a tutor for one of those easy.
I know SHIT about guitars. Okay, some are acoustic, others are electronic. Lets say, I know very little for a person who is thinking about playing one.
So I fired up a website I use to preview music and have been listening to guitar styles. If I'm going to find a teacher, I should probably find one that specializes in a style I like. I won't enjoy learning if the music I'm playing sucks to me.
Classical sounds nice if it's right. I'm totally a Rodrigo y Gabriela fan. Some jazz is okay, but most of it grates my nerves. Some of the classical stuff tweaks me too.
I loaded this one album sample, "Art of Fingerstyle Guitar" the genre is Folk / Country. I've liked every 30 second sample that's played, and I'm grinning like, Seriously B? Folk country? Most of the samples have the guitar standing alone with maybe a bass. I have no friends playing instruments. Plus, it sounds fun, light, playful, and creative.
Oh hey, who do I know like that?
Maybe it was just the album. So I've loaded another guitar album from the same genre.
0.o I'm really liking this stuff. *listening to Pat Webb*
Okay, one more, to be sure.
Oh, and I am very sure I want to play acoustic guitar, not electric.
I'm sold. *listening to Mike Seeger*
Funny enough. Folk / Country is the first guitar style that I've heard that sounds more like getting me toward Rodrigo y Gabriela level of superiority.
