Come Waltz with Me

Today was a cool day. We had a team outing at work, in which we spent the time volunteering. We packaged up over 12,000 meals, enough food to feed 34 kids for an entire year; we went to Feed My Starving Children. Afterward, I had to run out to my classical guitar lesson, which was also cool.

I learned a few things about notation for guitar, which is not something I am able to really describe here, but the complexity of "intermediate" level pieces is enough to give me a headache; what have I got myself into here?

I worked on the first part of a Waltz by Ferdinando Carulli (1770 - 1841). He was a very skilled guitarist who became a sought-after teacher. His teaching methodology is still in practice!

Song of the day: "Lessons Learned" - Alice In Chains
