Yo. I began playing guitar again a few weeks ago after years of not doing so. I got a guitar when I was younger for my birthday.. I think I was 13 or 14 maybe - around that age anywho.

I wanted to play, but was one of those kids who left it in the corner then the case then the cupboard.

But I decided to get it out the other week. It's one thing I could do to keep my mind off my woman who left me the week before. Playing FIFA just makes you feel like a sad-bastard when you've been dumped..

And now, anywho - the point of this post. I wanna make a little list of what I can play so far. There's one thing i've noticed since I began playing again - how much of an aid the internet is to perspective guitar players. Youtube is a revelation -- you can go on there, type in your favorite (semi-popular) song, with lesson in the line and get a result. It's great.

I can play:
- Knockin on heaven's door by Dylan or whoever
- Hurt by Johnny Cash
- Reptillia (riff atleast) by the Strokes
- I Fought in a War by Belle & Sebastian
- Beyond the Sunrise by Belle & Sebastian

- Man on the Moon by REM
- Brain Damage (riff or two) by Pink Floyd
- Horse with No name by America
- Day Tripper by The Beatles
- Working Class Hero by John Lennon
- Riders on the Storm by The Doors
- Mr.Tambourine Man by Bob Dylan

There's a couple here i'm quite proud that I can play because they are songs I love. Riders on the Storm firstly as it's an adaption of the song but it works and it's different. I am happy to be able to play Mr.Tambourine man too because any time someone's got a guitar anywhere i'll be able to pick it out and whip out a few 'Heeeeeeeyyyy Mista tambourine mans...' for them. I've been listening to Dylan alot recently too so it's not to be able to play one of his.

It's a great thing being able to play the guitar, and what I look forward to is to be able to pick up a guitar at any time in my life and bell out a few chords and sing a song... that; and to be a big-bloated leather-clad rockstar of course.

One day....

..Until then...

..Yerh!
