I watched the documentary It Might Get Loud last night with T.
It's about the electric guitar, and it's interpretation as played by Jimmy Page, The Edge, and Jack White.
I thought it might be a bit cheesy (and it is at points), but overall it appealed to my secret desire to be a rock star. It made me really want to learn to play guitar!
I love all kinds of music, and I have to admit I enjoyed seeing footage of these three men before they were uber- famous. The first few minutes of the movie Jack White makes a 'guitar' out of some wood scraps, nails, a wire & a bottle (pictured above). It's pretty cool.
I'm not sure if I can learn to play an instrument. I feel like my brain doesn't work the right way. The gentleman who runs Future Music (a great used vintage instruments shop in our neighborhood- they had a Moog there the last time I went!) has told me on a couple occasions that anyone can learn how to play. That people are wired to play music. I'm not sure I believe him (I'm certain I'm the exception) but it's a nice thought!
