My spokes hurt
What are 5Spokes? That would be the name given to our hands by a chef that I trained under during my apprenticeship. He would tell me, "use your 5Spokes to mix that" or "Take care of your 5spokes, you need them to do all sorts of useful things" He was right! Right now they are hurting from my millionth time of teaching myself to play the guitar. I am working on a song to seranade Alisha. Kieth Urbans "Making memories of us" I just bought the guitar for myself for my Bday and love to play it! It just gets frustrating that I dont sound that good yet. Oh well, have to keep practicing. I decided not to buy an expensive guitar just yet. I was looking at the seagull line, but could not shell out $350 for a guitar. Not yet anyway, maybe in a year or so. So I purchased an Ibenez cheap intro guitar that is not that bad. It buzzes a little, but I have been researching on how to put some better strings on it and maybe take it to be "setup" by a proffesional. The only setting up that has happened so far is various family members setting it up after a cat knocks it over. I better learn how to take better care of this axe. My dream would be to be able to play classical and flamenco guitar, I just think that sound is so cool. I remember my older brother Danny playing Andre Segovia albums and just getting sucked in to the incredible sounds. I still have to get some Segovia in my collection. Alisha has music on her blog so I will try to get some of the influences I hope to be able to site one day as the inspiration to my mediocore guitar playing. Off to try and add music.
