\"\"Let\u2019s be clear on one thing here: a guitar star I am not. Nor am I anywhere near being one. However, I do find that just picking Strange up and fumbling through the few chords I know and the one song I have roughly memorized, does do wonders for my state of mind.<\/p>\n

Granted, Strange was not very happy with me when I picked her up today \u2013 I left her in the cold hallway (granted in her case) all throughout the busy Christmas holidays and then proceeded to cheat on her with Amras\u2019 telecaster while I was in Florida (shhh I don\u2019t think she knows) but eventually she warmed up to me again.<\/p>\n

In the spirit of attempting to get further with this new inclination of mine, I even went so far as to sign up for a guitar lesson website \u2013 and am ,\u2026exceptionally slowly\u2026teaching myself how to read tabs. Tabs and chords keep getting mixed up in my head so I\u2019m not quite sure what I\u2019m looking at half the time but I find that seeing it play out in front of me helps somewhat. Between the website and my instruction books\u2026and Amras\u2026I am no longer feeling quite so hopeless as I was a few months ago.<\/p>\n

But freya do I ever love that guitar. It\u2019s been a long while since I truly loved an instrument\u2026I don\u2019t actually ever remember being attached to one like this, but somehow\u2026this one\u2019s different\u2026and I think that\u2019s a pretty good thing.<\/p>\n
