The End of the Line

Well, it is finished. I am mostly happy with it. I accomplished my goal of learning a song in a month and posting a video. Is it perfect? Nope, not even close. Am I going to spend the time required to get it perfect? Not a chance in hell. At this point I am pretty much over this song, and I am really looking forward to picking something else out for next month. I can't imagine how these artists play the same songs over and over for the rest of thier career.

Positives from this experience:

I played my guitar more in the past month than I have the past 2 years.
I managed to not look like I had to shit my pants while playing the song.
I got a sweet KISS guitar strap for Christmas.
I finally figured out how to work some of the gear that I have for playing guitar.

Negatives:
Not perfect. Was actually thinking about rerecording it, but didn't have the patience. After screwing up the beginning chorus part my hands were shaking like crazy because I thought I was going to screw up the rest.
Plugging into an amplifier not only amplifies the sound, but your mistakes as well.
I don't look quite as cool as I thought I did in my head. Next performance I will have to take my shirt off.

Without further delay, I present to you....

I'll have to show this to Rylee. I'm sure she'll make the devil horns and tell you to "rock on!"
