Guitar

| After 41 years I decided to pick up the electric guitar again - an instrument I begged my parents to play when I was 11 years old. Elvis Presley had just made rock'n roll famous and I was hooked. I wanted to quit taking piano lessons and learn to play the guitar. |
| I did just that when I was 12, after saving US$20 over six months. I taught myself how to play chords and learned basic rhythm guitar. It was good enough to play in a small rock'n roll band in high school. When I went to college in Iowa, though, I stopped playing. |
| Through the years I've thought about picking up the guitar again, but didn't take action on it until September 2003. I bought a Line 6 Variax guitar and started to take lessons. |
Now, after a year and a half of lessons and a new guitar, a Suhr, I've developed my skill enough to record a few tunes. Today's computer technology, of course, provides an incredible array of tools to use, including the backup rhythm bands to which I have recorded my solos. I hope you enjoy them.
