I mentioned in my section about me that I would like to learn how to play guitar. I've tinkered a bit in the past but it has always been with a friend's guitar and never very seriously. I have many other hobbies and frankly, I was not about to buy myself a guitar on the off chance that I might motivate myself to learn how to play it.

Well, my secret Santa really came through for me and sent me a beautiful 6 string for Christmas! Now I really don't have any excuse to not learn how to play some tunes. I already spent an hour last night with some beginner videos on youtube and some simple progressions have been really fun! I consider myself musically inclined with some experience from middle school on a cello and I'm excited to see how fast some of the same skills can come right back into play with other stringed instruments. Now I just need to build up some callouses on my fingers and I'll be set!

Thank you, whoever you are! I'm stoked.
