A New Girl In My Life
She’s got sweet curves. She sings when you touch her the right way. It feels natural to hold her in my arms. Her name is Isabelle. She’s my Washburn D10SLH acoustic guitar. I’m still a drummer first and foremost, but it was time to learn how to play the guitar as well. Plus, when Isabelle is on her guitar stand she really ties the room together.
I’m happy I went with the left-handed version, doing it up Hendrix and Cobain style. Calluses are well on their way, I’ve got several chords good to go, and I can pretty much get through "Driftwood", though I need to improve my speed between chord changes. Hey, it’s only been three days, cut me some slack. Especially with my thick, stubby fingers, guitar virtuosity is never going to happen. Just being good enough to do a little busking across Europe would be fine with me.
