Back from a Busy Spring Break

I hoped that over spring break I would have had plenty of time to practice my guitar and get caught up on this blog, but since I was out of town for most of the break, I ended up being guitarless. Now that I'm back, but without my wife's laptop for recording purposes, I decided that I would spend my time today practicing the first, and most difficult, guitar part to Little Martha.

Since high school, I've been pretty slack about practicing guitar, and the first guitar part to Little Martha is difficult because it requires the finger strength of someone who regularly plays the guitar. There are several sections in the song in which I have to barre all six strings at the fifth fret, which simply means that those sections of the song sound like the noises my little cousin got my guitar to make when he knocked it off the stand last time he came to visit.

I'm making progress, though, and hopefully next time I sit down to blog, I'll also have a recording to share.
