5. Take Guitar Lessons


Goal number 5 on my list of 30 things to do this year is to take guitar lessons. I started trying to teach myself in college. My friends Alli and Chuck Norton can tell you that it was a rough start. Alli, who was my roommate at the time, had to kindly tell me that I was playing in one key and singing in another when I couldn't figure out why the words didn't seem to fit with the chord I was playing. Chuck later stepped in and gave me some beginners advice.

That was a long time ago (we won't say how long), and it is time to get some real lessons, if for no other reason than to be able to lead worship in small groups with a little more confidence and to try to write some songs (not necessarily for public consumption, but as a means of processing and thinking through life....I uploaded these one day while I was bored over Christmas break)

Second guitar lesson starts at 3pm tomorrow! Time to go practice!
