Introduction

I decided to re-learn how to play guitar.

This wasn't an easy decision. I'm a pretty competent guitar player, having played in several bands, as worship leader, and even having taught some lessons. I'm a rather skilled bassist as well, and on that instrument I'm able to walk in for pretty much any reasonable gig and sight-read my way through it.

I don't have the same skill level on guitar. I'd like to get to that skill level, and beyond.

In this blog, I'll be documenting the gear that I'm using, the methods I'm using, and my general practice thoughts. When I moved my bass playing from "I can kind of play" to "I can play whatever you want me to play", it took a year to get pretty good, and three more years to get really good. I imagine that I'm looking at the same kind of learning curve for the guitar. I can currently play for fun, but I no longer believe that I'm competent enough to play in public. I want to fix that.
