Day 1: Given the lull in research and evil doing due to the construction of the labs I figured it was finally time to learn to play the guitar.  To that end I picked up this lovely Fender Stratocaster.   I figured out strumming a bit and figured out a G-Chord.  Holding the thing is still a bit of a problem.  Still, for the first few hours of actually trying to play a guitar it went pretty well.

Day 2:  Worked out holding the guitar better.  Got the G-Chord even better.  Also worked on being able to lift my fingers on and off while strumming.  I still haven’t gotten the left-hand down.

Day 3: Worked on the G-Chord more.  Started on the D-Chord.  I think I’ve got my left-hand form a lot better.  The excercise on hitting the sixth string with all four fingers in succession did a decent job.   Also adjusted the straps some more and that helped quite a bit.  Probably work on the C-Chord tomorrow.  I also need to actually work more on being able to actually move my fingers from chord to chord.
