I had an interesting experience at Guitar Center today.  But, first…

FLASHBACK – 1 month ago…

I went to Guitar Center and was thinking about buying a guitar.  After years of telling myself that learning to play guitar was either too hard or that I did not have the dexterity, I decided to chart my own course.  So, I went to the local guitar bazaar and took a look at what they had to offer.  But, when I was given a recommendation and handed a guitar by a sales rep, I must have looked like a virgin about to have sex for the first time.  I had no idea what I was doing.  Sure, I had fooled around and played a guitar here and there, but there was this feeling within me where I felt like a phoney.

CUT TO:  Today

I went to Guitar Center.  Only today, I sat down with a Taylor, a Martin and a Gibson and was able to sense their individualities and their different strengths and weaknesses.  Now, I am in no way a skilled guitarist.  In fact, if you called me a hack, I would be honored.  That being said, today I felt as if I was progressing towards my goal and that sense of accomplishment was real satisfying.  I was able to hold the guitars, play some chords and actually interact with the instrument.  Simply amazing.
