Get to playin!

So, I've decided that my graduate school-stress relief will be guitar. I need to get back into playing regularly. My stint in the Air Force killed my practice schedule and I never really recovered. Sucks too, because I've been playing since I was in the 7th grade. Now I've noticed that when I play, I just play the same crap over and over and over. I'm not really making any progress with the insturment. Not to mention, I've basically forgotten all scales/modes/theory and my song writing sucks.

I have pretty much given up playing video games (except for MtG online!...is that even a video game?) so I can invest time into practicing. Like I'd even have time to play video games when I'm in school anyway! So, back to a daily practice regiment. I need to get my electric guitar fixed (bridge needs to be professionally set) and pick up a cheap-o practice amp. I sold my half stack to my buddy Karl so I could buy my bicycle. I have also considered selling my Les Paul (epi) and getting a strat. I like the sound of the strat over the LP. Those single coils have that rad deep blues tone. I'm thinking I could probably do a straight swap because my Les Paul is in really good condition.

Anyway, that's the plan. Get back to making music!
