I don’t think I’ve ever written about it, but for the last year or so I’ve been trying to learn to play the guitar. This endeavor actually started when my sister asked for and received an acoustic guitar for Christmas several years ago. Her interest in learning to play didn’t last long, and I eventually bought the guitar from her for about $100 (if I remember correctly).

Fast forward a few years, and I’ve now been taking guitar lessons locally for about four months using that same acoustic guitar. I’m still not very good (basic scales still elude me), but after receiving a gift card to Guitar Center for Christmas (early, I know), I decided it was finally time to go electric.

So, without further ado, here is my new Ibanez RG120 along with the Line 6 Spider III amp that I picked up along with it:

I know this post isn’t programming related (don’t worry — the focus of this blog is still programming), but I stopped writing posts when I took up guitar lessons and feel it’s only fitting that I post about the fruition of those lessons.
