Great time at this weeks Band Camp!

I had to fly, so I was a little late showing up to this weeks Band Camp but it was well worth attending.

First of all, my good friend Kenny Webb was there along with his vintage Les Paul. He hadn't hardly played it over the last 25 years but with this kids up and gone, felt now was as good a time as any to get back into it.

We also played my current favorite Already Gone as well as two songs I didn't know the chords to but love anyway; Little Sister and Kansas City.

I'm going to learn the rhythm part to them over the weekend as well as a couple others so next week will be really good.

Big Step today

Today I practiced for an hour and a half. The callouses are well-formed on my fingertips and my fingers are gaining strength.

I decided to get brave and tackle one of my favorite songs today: Already Gone by the Eagles. The basic rythum is just three chords but the lead part seems (ed) pretty complex. You really have to stretch out your hand/fingers to play those X6 chords.

So I played thru the pain, stretched out my fingies and went thru the song slowly.

It's still not there but it's coming and it's a lot closer than it was.
