On the recommendation of goldbludgeon, I'm learning guitar again.
I picked up Rocksmith for my Xbox and I'm gonna let it guide me through everything. It was a lot of fun. I played a couple songs, mostly Foo Fighters and System of a Down. It was neat watching the game go from single notes to chords after a while. It's not the whole song obviously but for a single day I've made good progress, I think. According to the game, I can play a whole 10% of Hypnotize!!
I still don't understand chords. Am I only supposed to be strumming the strings my fingers are on, or all of them? I'm bumbling all over myself trying not to mute other strings too. I will need finger extensions by the end of this. My little pokers aren't used to bending like that.
Reminder to eventually get proper accessories. I don't have a strap and I'm picking with good ol' Abe Lincoln, who flew from my hands on one particularly heavy session.
