After about 18 months of learning the guitar behind my computer and playing in the living room, I got a chance to stand in with a band for four songs at a company function. It was as much fun as I've had in many years. We played Folsom Prison Blues and Ring for Fire, then the band went into some song I ddin't know and so I just followed along as best as I could keeping an eye on the chord changes. Then we finished with Dead Flowers, which was a lot of fun.

For anybody considering it, I strongly suggest finding anyone to play with. It makes it so much more enjoyable than playing along with a computer. But, thanks to Guitar Tricks for the good lessons and practice time that let me get up on stage and take one off the bucket list!
