A rough attempt.

Posted by RogG814 on January 19, 2025 at 6:39 pm

Here is a one off of the daily lessons from Friday. Sort of rough, but that’s why I’m here. Forgive the great face in the start when I’m trying to get my bifocals to focus…

Well, that was a pretty great attempt there! Love the other instruments surrounding you… and that awesome piece of art as well. How long have you been playing?

  Thanks. I’ve HAD guitars for a number of years, but to say I play is rather a stretch. I enjoy dabbling, and getting together with another or two to “jam” (our word for sitting around, strumming a few chords, and gabbing). The Jimi picture behind me is from my daughter, the instruments are tangible memories (spotted fender bought from and signed by Buddy Guy, 335 signed by Joe Bonamassa, and drums off to the side from a drum making class my wife and I attended).

  I’m sure it’s not that bad. I think we all hear our own mistakes like we heard our own kids crying in a crowd.

  I live in SE Wisconsin. I go down to Chicago in January and visit Buddy’s club down on Wabash when he is playing. I impulse-bought the guitar and had him sign it before I left two years ago. I regret nothing! LOL. I’ll be heading down again next weekend for the same reason, but I think I’ll hold off getting another guitar.
  
  If you can ever make it, it is a real great time, and their food is wonderful. And a chance to watch one of the true founders of Chicago blues ply his trade.

That is really cool. I live in Michigan in the thumb and had the pleasure of seeing Buddy years ago at the Michigan Theatre in Ann Arbor. He is definitely a blues legend.
