I am building up some nice calluses on my fingers as I continue to learn to play the guitar. I am struggling a bit with chords (well, transitioning from one chord to another) but I think I am doing well plucking away at song like "Waltzing Matilda" and "Jamaican Farewell". I am so happy that I decided to give this gift to myself this year.

I wish that my kids were interested in learning to play the guitar right now. They only want to play drums and there is no way I am buying a drum kit.
