Teach myself to play guitar

26 September 2008 - Filed under General Knowhow

“If something is too hard to do, then it’s not worth doing. You just stick that guitar in the closet next to your shortwave radio, your karate outfit and your unicycle and we’ll go inside and watch TV.” – Homer Simpson

More like, why shouldn’t I learn to play the guitar. If there’s one thing to be said about guitar players … nothing seems to impress the ladies more. Or maybe it’s just the ladies I tend to see… No, no, I’m pretty sure all women think guitar players are sexy… Besides, who doesn’t have a guitar sitting around somewhere?

Maybe it has something to do with fantasy more than anything else… Just sitting around watching TV all day get’s old and one thing about the guitar – it’s cheap entertainment. I plan on teaching myself how to play the guitar instead of hiring an instructor. These people can be expensive, and even though IT MIGHT BE worth the money… I think I’ll stick with the internets and the many free lessons I seem to be finding. For example, yesterday I ran across this teach yourself guitar website – and it seems to have some good information.

I think I’m well on my way to something great here. Maybe later, when I can rock all your faces off with my awesome guitar skillz (yeah, that’s skills with a Z because it’s more awesome) I’ll put up an incredibly mind blowing video of me practicing my sick scalez in a future “why I should use youtube more” post

To recap: Why I should teach myself guitar

1. No other instrument looks cooler
2. Because I’ve got one sitting around
3. Gives you something else other than TV watching to do
4. Cheap entertainment
5. Duh, bitches
