buy a guitar and learn how to play it! easier said than done. we bought the guitars (easy part).....needless to say, freddy with his gnarled hands (due to years of climbing) is far better than me and is already playing songs while i am still trying to play the G chord properly! holding down those strings is really uncomfortable and i still haven't quite figured out the way I'm supposed to be positioning the instrument......but we have another lesson next week.....so stay tuned readers, soon you may be hearing about freddy&ma the band
