Links - AFK edition

Comments[1] by Dave in Links

Here's another link blog post. In this one I'll explain why my del.icio.us feed is full of guitar tabs. I've been spending some time Away From Keyboard and near to fretboard. Since my 11 year old son Alex is learning guitar I've been doing the same and making some good progress. I've noodled around on bass for years, but never spent much time with guitar. I've always known the basic chords, but that's about it. Now I've finally learned how to string and "sing" at the same time and so I've been looking for good, fun and easy songs to play. Here are the ones I've found so far, straight from my bookmarks feed:

You can probably guess my age now ;-)

Here are a couple more kinda sorta related links from the feed.

I bookmarked that REM review because we attended that show last week. We took a bunch of kids and had a blast. REM played a bunch of their very early songs like 7 Chinese Brothers and Pretty Persuasion. The kids (from 5 to 11 years old) danced like fools on pogo-sticks the whole time.

And finally, here's something here's something not in my bookmarks feed; the Epiphone G-310 I bought for about $230 last weekend.

I had an inkling of how young you are, Dave but putting the list actually confused me, Cure's Love Song isn't really old while the others seem within the same decade or so. Oh and I do dig earlier REM like So. Central Rain and Harborcoat - more 80's stuff. To think I was looking for cool Java blogs and I do believe yours is one of them. Best. alain
