Practicing daily, but with a caveat

   Yes, I continue to practice daily.  But although it is the Guitar Tuna app as we don't yet have a guitar.  Okay, I know it's not the same as having a real guitar in your hands, but hey I am learning some chords shapes and it's been a wonderful little app for me, well, how wonderful it is will depend on how well it translates to a 3D object, as opposed to just a glass screen.  I will get back to you on that.  Although it is a confidence booster that I am able to  learn the chords.

    Kathy continues to want to learn too.  I showed her how I use the app as she wants to give it a try.  Her main concern at this point is just being able to hold the beast.  We will see if she can hold a full size are guitar, or we need to get a smaller one.  We will have to go to an actual store to take a look and hold them.  That sounds like it could lead to a dangerous commitment. :)

   We went to visit Dad and it turns out he had my Uncle's guitar and offered it to us.  It is missing the high E string and the the body top is warped around the bridge. It needed a quick clean and while cleaning it I noticed the bridge support inside is pulled away from the body top.  There is no name bragged about on the guitar so it looks like it was a basic guitar he had picked up at some point.   I am thinking it will not be worth repairing.
