Learning Is Fun !!!

I'm setting today aside to work on my learnin' and stuff. I'm looking at videos on youtube and learning how to play a few songs, like "Hair of the Dog" by Nazareth, "Paranoid" by Black Sabbath, "Sunshine of Your Love" by Cream, "Touch Too Much" & "Sin City" by AC/DC, and more. The nice thing about youtube is that there are so many videos on there that you can find some guitar player that has uploaded a lesson video (or "how to play..." video) for most any popular song. Unfortunately, I don't always go for what's popular. 2 songs in particular that I am trying to learn --"Stick It In" by Broken Teeth (featuring Jason MacMaster former lead singer of Dangerous Toys) and "Old No. 7" by Big C**k -- don't have videos teaching how to play them. They do, however, have live performances of those songs uploaded. It's a little more difficult trying to learn from a live video, but at least there are visual clues that at least narrow things down for me.

The reason that I'm trying to learn these songs, and more, is that I'm trying to put together some kind of a music project. Not nessessarily a full band, just 2 guitarists each taking their turn singing stripped down versions of great songs, and throwing a couple of original tunes in too. It's less of a headache to have to deal with just one other person instead of a full band. Fewer egos make my life easier, and I have enough of an ego for a few people anyway.

I'm also trying to get my debut cd finished. I've done a few songs here and there, and I've done some recording on my own, but I'm looking to finish enough songs for a full length cd in the next few months. Because, like so many people like to keep telling me, I ain't getting any younger. I also may be starting my own online music label.

The only thing that was done this week for my internet tv series is that we designed and printed our first White Trash Heroes T-Shirts.

We will have a wide variety of choices for the shirts, such as the 3 to the right here --->

We also have a censored version of the Xmas shirt, in case you want to wear it to church or something.

Well, I guess that's about it for now.

I've got to go work on the music blog for a little while before I get back to playing some more guitar.

See ya soon.
