Feel the Noize

For Christmas I bought myself a series of DVD guitar instructional videos so I can finally learn to play decently. The series has been available forever; a friend of mine used it when we were in college. For those of you keeping score at home, it's called Metal Method. I got the complete basic course and the Stevie Ray Vaughn style DVD. The first lick on the SRV disc is the opening to "Scuttle Buttin'" from his album Couldn't Stand the Weather. I can play it at about half speed pretty cleanly. I can actually play it better than Stevie can, on account of him being dead and all.

My oldest son has expressed an interest in playing guitar. He's taking piano right now to get the basic music concepts down. I'll let him use my old guitar to see if he'll stick with it or not. I'll use the DVDs to teach him.
