Hobbies

I decided I needed a new hobby.  Something I can do at home, but does not involve computers as I already spend way too much time online.  So I picked up an electric guitar (Epiphone Les Paul) and will sign up for lessons this weekend.  The style I wish to learn is, of course, The Blues.

Update: I had my first lesson.  I told the instructor I was a complete beginner, but partway into the lesson he knew I had played before.  It’s just been over 20 years since I’ve picked up a guitar, so I didn’t think anything from way back then would still be sticking around.  I picked up the first set of chords rather quickly, but my fingertips just aren’t up to the stress of steel strings.  I need callouses!
