Re-starting with G...D...Am...G...D...C - all over :)

First and foremost, if the title sounds weird, then you probably need to re-visit on of my previous posts - check out my post: Knockin' on Heaven's door - Bob Dylan. Then things will fall in place - I guess... ;-)

Its been last year I started with playing guitar...but could not really practice much more that the bare minimum - and that too kind of faded away as soon as the course ended. In my defense, last year has been one of the most hectic years of my life (or my recent life as least) - believe me, that´s the best excuse I can give as such.

But well, I learned about coursera.org from one of my colleagues and went through the extensive list of courses they come up with...and believe me, this list is just amazing...lots of very interesting courses from some of the most well-known faculties around the world...really it´s very heartening to see internet as a medium of exchanging knowledge. And if this was not enough, it all comes at - absolutely no costs at all...!!! Isn´t it amazing...!!! Sometimes some of the best things do come for free ;-)

So well I explored for some interesting courses and found this one around as well. Just could not resist the temptation to start it - all over again...!

So here I am, ready to start the on with guitar once again...hopefully this time I will persist as well.

Knockin´ on heaven´s door - once again... :-)

All interested in some great courses, do have a look at coursera.org - there is something of interest for everyone... do check it out

Be happy and spread the same around...

Cheers all...

Knockin' on Heaven's door - Bob Dylan

G...D...Am...G...D...C

Umm..."What are you talking about...? Have you forgotten the letters of English alphabet...???" That's what my Language teacher from my primary school would have said...but then the same sequence sounded music to my guitar teacher...! Perceptions...you see :)

Well...the title of this post is really relevant. Today was my first day going for guitar sessions...finally realizing a dream which has been with me (as a dream) for...I don't even remember how long...! And this lack of memory is not because I am too old, but basically it has literally been that long a time :)

Well...this year is all about living my dreams...can't argue with Nostradamus and the Mayans I think ;)

Today, after work I went to attend my first guitar lessons and this was the song that we practiced...and hence the title of the post. By the way, I have always loved this song (though I prefer the Guns n' Roses version of it). So the start could not have been any more perfect...inspiring and motivating...!

Right now, after an hour long session and some practice at home, I cannot feel my finger tips...but then, I can sacrifice that much to realize my childhood dream...a dream that has lived its life as a dream way too long...like a document kept for approval at a Government office :) But yeah, finally it is becoming a reality.

Next 6 weeks will be a bliss...a step towards checking off another TO-DO as DONE from my 2012 checklist.

By the way...I am taking guitar lessons at Norsk Musikk Skole.

Keep rolling...like a rolling stone... :)

GOD bless...and keep the rhythm flowing... G-D-Am-G-D-C
