Rock and Roll Dreams.

So, I decided to purchase myself an acoustic guitar, which I fully intend on learning to play. When it arrives, that is.


I had to buy a 3/4 guitar because I'm a very little person (a mere 5") and I'm not really sure I could handle a full sized guitar.

I've wanted to learn to play for ages, but I've not really got round to buying a guitar and actually making the effort to learn. I just haven't had the motivation. Until I was listening to I See Fire by Ed Sheeran. I'm a little gutted I've only recently heard this song actually, because I love the Hobbit, I loved the book and I love both of the films (can't begin to explain how gutted I was to learn that the release date for part 3 was pushed back from July 18th to December 17th!). Now I managed to miss this song at the end of the Desolation of Smaug, purely because I was too busy sitting in the cinema shaking my head at the screen because I didn't want the film to be finished, and since then I've never really got round to listening to it. Then last week I was sitting at work, not really doing anything and decided to give it a shot, and then I had it on repeat for a couple of days. It almost sounds like a lullaby. So, I decided I was so desperate to be able to play that song that I would buy a guitar and learn it, and since then I've created a playlist of songs that I want to be able to play. The only problem is I'm worried I'm going to start learning, maybe make a serious effort for about a week and then get frustrated and give up. I'm determined to learn though, so I guess I need to learn quick. I'll be ok once I can actually play, it's just getting past the early stuff that's going to be hard work for me. But I shall keep you all posted once I've started learning. I might even make some YouTube videos when I can actually play full songs!
