I'm stuck with first position open chords because I just cant remember anything else. He gave me "Stairway to Heaven" this week and all I can remember is a few 3-note runs out of it. The only good thing lately was this amp that I saw at the ham radio swapmeet that I showed to the Spouse and he offered to buy for me. And the really cool part of that was getting to hear my Spouse say "My wife plays guitar". For $40 we got a Montgomery Ward SS amp of unknown wattage (the guy said he thought it was 30 watts) in really good shape. It's cool, although I still haven't gotten it clear to 10. I did find out the other day though, that at 7 it sets off the glass-break detector in the house :-) I put the kids on the bus for school and then rocked out for half an hour before i had to go to work.

It's still going slow
I can fumble my way through (and mangle) a few songs, including Pink Floyd's "Wish You Were Here" and Matchbox Twenty's "How Far We've Come" Mostly stuff from TAB that was easy to memorize. It's still going slow. I can make the chords but my strumming is still awkward and not usually right. And Tyler tries to explain the weird chords like Cadd9 and Dsus5 to me and I just don't really get it.
