Tuning...

I got my guitar out this evening for the first time in about three years... I'd slackened off all the strings whilst it was stored, so it's going to take some time for the tuning to settle down again.

I love my guitar, it was a present for my 12th birthday. I took it up because my brother had been bought a little 3/4 size one, then went to lessons for about two weeks before promptly losing interest... so when I fancied trying my hand at music, I was given my brothers old one and told to go forth and learn, which I did with great enthusiasm, I had a lovely teacher who specialised in spanish guitar and taught small groups at primary school, when she realised i was keen she started giving me one to one lessons, and as a result once I had started to get long gangly arms and outgrow the cast off, the folks bought me this one...

As a kid and a young teenager I really loved playing and then in my late teens I lost interest a bit, but ever since then I go through phases with it. I don't perform in public though... Dave is allowed to hear me play if he sits behind me where I can't see him watching... His little ears pricked up this evening when I started tuning up and he's making very encouraging noises about it being a good idea to start playing again...
