New friend.
On the weekend I went out and bought myself a guitar. I have been meaning to do this for a while - I used to play classical guitar at school and I always had a couple of guitars at home. I never really made the transition over to acoustic guitar but since I have been with The Fly By Nights I have had some sings kicking around in my head which I want to do a proper job of writing. I have a midi controller keyboard which I occasionally plug into Garage Band but I feel like sometimes there needs to be a step before that stage. Also, it is hard to curl up on the sofa with a keyboard, ibook and a whole heap of cables...
Anyway, I have been home from work sick for the past couple of days and so have made it my mission to learn to play Jose Gonzales 'Heartbeats'. You'll be pleased to hear I have the intro and verse downpat, but my fingers are bleeding (damn those soft tender fingertips).

Hi April - great to see you're playing guitar again. Try soaking your finger tips in metho to dry them out out make them nice and tough.
