You what now?!?

Fat Penguin!

Ok, now that I've broken the ice, on with what the chop this blog is about.

I'm Raf D (aka Lil Raf) and I want to learn guitar and stuff...

I've decided to have an early life crisis and I figure learning guitar is as good a new hobby to take up as any.

Generally, there are people who have natural musical talent and those who don't but are committed to learning an instrument anyway. I fall in neither category.

I have absolutely no musical talent apart from clicking "shuffle" in iTunes and I am a fairly lazy person.

My prediction is that either:
a) I discover I'm a white Jimi Hendrix and this whole adventure into the land of musical awesomeness will be a breeze
b) I discover I'm crap at playing guitar, but I want to proven to myself that I can atleast learn how to learn Pink Floyds - I wish you where here
c) I end up with a really nice guitar decoration to go on the wall in the study.

Anyway, with the prospect of this whole thing coming up short and me throwing in the towel early on to instead pursue my true passion, drinking beer, I will be starting with the cheapest guitar I can find.

eBay is looking like a goer as I can get something for about 150 bux with a practice amp.

Brilliant!

Other than that, and because I'm cheap, I'm going to try and make this a free "self-taught" affair. So far I've found a bunch of useful sites and youtube will be my friend.

So, there is it... that's the plan... lets see how I go.

Things I need to do to learn guitar and stuff from here:

1. Get a  guitar
2. Get some more "beginner guitar" material
3. Work out how the chop to read music.

Wish me luck!
