Women's Sunglasses in All Styles

I was looking up sunglasses online and came across these really gawdy, glittery guitar sunglasses. Reminded me of something Elton John would wear or something you'd take out only for New Year's Eve. I love learning to play guitar right now (and practice is going great by the way), but I wouldn't go that far with the guitar paraphernalia. I'll stick with the stylish women's sunglasses please! I have to look cool ya know! Wouldn't want to tarnish my image of the 38-year-old, mother of four, soccer mom whose trying to learn to rock.

Santa Bringing Two New Guitars

Santa is bringing two guitars for Christmas for two of our kids. One daughter is getting a Fender Squier Bullet electric guitar in a brown sunburst color. My eldest is getting an Art and Lutherie Dreadnaught in Cedar Blue.

In this first picture, the guitar my middle daughter is getting is the brown sunburst in the very front.



Obviously, this is the Art and Lutherie cedar blue acoustic guitar my daughter is getting:

The Art & Luthrie are great guitars. My husband has this guitar in a burgundy. Since they are such great guitars, he's trying to talk me into selling my own electric and getting this same guitar in the blonde/white color he just saw over the weekend.

Playing Eric Clapton Already!

My second lesson with my husband went well. We started working on a song "Bye Bye Love" with C, G, and D chords. Then I came down with the flu so didn't get any practice in that week of my second lesson.

This past weekend, I took out my guitar and started practicing again. We worked on "Bye Bye Love" and "Wonderful Tonight" (Eric Clapton). I enjoy playing Eric Clapton's song quite a bit and Bye Bye Love not so much yet. It's a lot faster and my fingers don't quite want to switch between chords that fast yet. I'll get there though!!

First Lesson with Hubby

My husband gave me my first lesson yesterday (I'd previously wrote about not taking lessons from an outside teacher last time). He showed me two new chords (C, big G...as opposed to baby G that was really easy) to learn along with D that I already know. These three chords are in several songs in my new guitar book, Easy Pop Rhythms Book.

While at Staples, he also came across a computer CD called Learn to Play Guitar Essentials that we picked up for $10. We figured we'd see what it was, if there was anything helpful on it. We thought it was a good price. Amazon has it for a lot less! Oy.
