Teach an old dog to sit.

So after 15 years of playing guitar I took my first guitar-lesson a week or so back.
It was a bit too humbling.

I mean sure: I fumble on the electric guitar, there's no point denying that and it is of course the main reason for why I have enlisted the help of a professional. I feel I have come as far as I can on my own and I need direction in order to take my music to the next level.

(on that note I have some very interesting plans for the next Uh-huh-album...)
But still: Too humbling.
I consider myself an OK guitarist and I suppose I am when I play what I know (d'uh) or when I simply just play around but within the boundaries of music theory I am very, very lost. But it seems to yield results.

And it's funny because when I first started out I would have hated learning about notes, weird arpeggios or blues turnarounds. Now I find it exhilirating.

And by God I will master that stick of wood.

Here's two pictures that somewhat relate to todays post:
