Learning Guitar

I find these short Guitar World videos with Testament's rhythm guitarist, Eric Peterson, interesting.  But calling them "lessons" is a real stretch.  Unless I'm just such a beginning guitarist that it's just way above me.  I do like what he's doing, though. I'd like to just be able to get that tone.  Or even the simplest progression example that he's doing. Or even the basic do-do-do (below) that you hear so often.  I guess that's where having an actual instructor comes in handy.

We're All Salesman

You know how they say the worst thing in an interview is when they ask if you have any questions, and you don't?  It wasn't really an interview, just a face to face meeting with a headhunter, but I didn't.  Actually, this is the first time a headhunter ever wanted to meet in person.  And since he wasn't representing an employer/job, I didn't think it appropriate to go with the standard-questions-to-ask-in-an-interview-even-though-I-really-don't-care-what-the-answers-are.

And speaking of selling yourself, I just started rehearsals for "Death Of A Salesman" at the Bowen Park Theatre Company.  (Opening night is Rocktober 8th.)  Last night I read the play for the first time. You know, at the read-through.  Wow, that's some depressing tale.  And so relate-able.  Probably more so today than 60 years ago when it was first produced.  But I'm sure I don't have to tell you.

(And now those bits on "Seinfeld" when Jerry would refer to George as Biff start to make a little sense.  But, um, don't ask me to explain how.)
