Penatonics and Led Zeppelin - Babe I'm Gonna Leave You

So Penatoics are cool for cranking out a simple self made songs. Today I was tired though so the lesson was kinda of a drag. Don't know if it is irony or what, but going through a tough time in my relationship and the song I'm learning to play "Led Zeppelin - Babe I'm Gonna Leave You", sigh. Nice guitar song though. My instructor keeps trying to hint to me to get an electric guitar. But I want to learn 1st on acoustic cause then I can play anything any where. Well I'm pooped, so that is all for this post.

OUCH, really why do Barre Chords have to hurt so much

Well I've started to use barre chords, well not actually, because I still can't seem to press all 6 strings into the fret hard enough. I'm playing on an acoustic (Lower end, but nice Fender). From what I can tell it seems learning them is easy, it is just E shape on major, minor, and 7 plus the barre. Seems mostly just a strength thing. If anyone knows a secret to them that comes across this post please leave a comment.

Learning Guitar

Well I'm trying to learn guitar and WOW is way harder then I thought it would be. This blog is going to record my progress, hopefully teach a bit, hopefully get useful feed back, and hopeful result in some great music.
