Well, like I said in the last post, we skipped last week because of it being Halloween. A good bit has happened since then. I'm home today with Chloe; she's got an ear infection and I just got back from the doc with her.
I got my Christmas present from Amy already. I found a great deal on the amp I want and I convinced her to go ahead and get it. It arrived yesterday. It is a Vox Valvetronix AD30VT. I've gotten to spend a couple of hours with it so far and I absolutely love it. Impossible to even compare to the crappy little Marshall MG10CD I had. It was a "Scratch and Dent" item from Musician's Friend, but I can't see anything that is wrong with it. Looks to be in perfect physical shape. Since I paid $191 for it, no tax and no shipping, that saved $70 bucks from the $239 + tax at the local GC.
Well, on to the lesson. Andy seemed pretty impressed with the scales and such from last time. We played around a while. Then we got into how to form sus4 and sus2 chords. It was a pretty laid back lesson. He asked about songs I want to/have learned. I mentioned "Wish You Were Here" again. He did some Beatles tunes. That sounds like a good idea to me.
He warned me about being the guy that knows the beginnig to every song, but doesn't know an entire song. I think he right about that. My "homework" was to find some songs I want to learn. Next time in, I'm going to have "Wish You Were Here" down completely, along with some others. I'm thinking I'll bring in some Hootie maybe. Amy is trying hard for some Christmas songs, and that's probably a good idea.
Until next time,
Louis
