For me, it is kind of a big deal.

I have been thinking about doing this for a while now.  What you may ask?  Well, you make ask.  :P

 

Anyway before I let you know about I decided to do, let me lay down a little bit of history.  I like music.  Eh, let me say that I freaking LOVE music.  It touches my soul and helps me through tough times and also helps me through the good times. 

I had always wanted to learn how to play the guitar and I did take lessons for a while and got to were I could play and people actually could recognize the songs I was playing.  It gave me great happiness.  I would practice and get down the lessons my teacher prepared and felt like I was growing. 

Then something bad happened, I got engaged, then broke up and right after that?  I broke my left wrist.  It was a nasty break.  It took me over a year to recuperate and even then, I hadn't picked my guitar back up to play.  It would sit in a corner and I would look at it.  I would pull it out to play.  It felt good but since I was using my left wrist for the chords, it caused me a lot of pain if I played for any amount of time.  It still feels like there is a hole in my soul and something that needs to be filled.

Here is the funny thing, I am left handed.  I learned out to play right handed.  Go figure.  I decided a while back to restring my guitar to be a left handed guitar but never moved on it.  Just a couple of days ago, I learned that one of my coworkers is a guitar teacher and he agreed to take me on.  We start tomorrow.

It is going to be a challenge but I am excited to start to fill up a gap that has been in me for the longest time.

Wish me luck.
