Guitar!

I bought a guitar on Saturday! I got it at a flea market in Zurich for ~$300 (bartered down from 380, woot!). It's a classical guitar, and is in pretty good shape so I think it was a good purchase.

Today marks 3 weeks from when I decided to learn to play the guitar. I have always wanted to learn, but never got around to it for some reason. Being in Switzerland is the perfect opportunity because now I have something to do when it rains and I am too poor to go out (haha). There's lots of other interns that play, so I'm getting mini-lessons and pointers from everyone.

So far, what I play that semi-resembles songs includes:
Green Day - Good Riddance
Don McLean - American Pie
Eagles - Hotel California (at super slow speed)
Violent Femms - American Music
Violent Femms - Blister in the Sun
Red Hot Chili Peppers - Californication (just the intro)
U2 - All I want is you
Goo Goo Dolls - Acoustic #3 (at super, super slow speed)
Goo Goo Dolls - Slide

and adding more every day...
