@ArdentVol - I briefly studied (a very polite term for “showing up weekly with a check that didn’t bounce”) classical and jazz guitar with Barry Hannah’s son Barry Jr., aka Po, whom I mainly remember as being (1) incredibly talented on jazz guitar (2) incredibly patient and (3) pretty damn gorgeous. I know your son has written about his dad, a wonderful novelist.

son had Barry's ex-wife for English in HS and started reading Barry either in jr hr or HS --
obviously a major influence --and considering accepting grad school offer at Ole Miss. I'll be asking him if he knows Bo and have friend (now deceased who knew family/

There are many hilarious tales of Barry's days at UA.

Lucky you. I'd sell my soul to play guitar

Most annoying thing about 911 is Jennifer love Hewitt. She freaking cries over everything 🤣

Perhaps, there is an unacknowledged painful consequence to being vagazzled… Or, the writers gave her character a bunch of crying jags.

I highly recommend The Banshees of Inisherin.

They way it started I didn't think I was going to finish it. But that changed. It was fantastic.

Well, so would I! 🤪

There’s owning a guitar and taking lessons, and then there’s actually playing it. My brain seems stuck on an 88-note piano keyboard, and the idea of having to play six different keyboards (strings) at once - with only five fingers - just doesn’t compute. I can play some simple classical pieces and a basic bossa nova rhythm, but then I’m pretty well done.

Being a reed man, I bought a guitar to help me “hear” guitar chords and better understand guitar players’ choices of chord progressions. It didn’t work. I’m still befuddled by guit-fiddles. Once, I sat down at a piano and sounded out some popular chords, then listened as a guitarist sounded the “same” chord, trying to explain to me the difference in note intervals between the piano and guitar. “This note is… displaced an octave… but, it’s still an E major chord. Yeah, this note’s displaced as well. It’s not linear… Think three dimensional chess…”
Riiiiiiiiight.

I’m having fun with my music theory class. Stuff I know, but presented in a completely different way, so that I have to take apart what’s in my head and reassemble it. 🤯
