It sounds interesting. Did your guitar teacher think that one up, get it somewhere else, or did you ever find out?

Of course, this being a text-based format, we would just have to get together and post messages about what we're playing and how awesome we would sound if people could hear us.

They played them ad nauseum until I gave up and figured them out and now I jam with them. Man, I could really use some new tunes, though. I'm getting tired of learning them all from *books.*

:-) You sound just like me. About every six months I try to roust out a few good people to start a band with, and every single time I either end up having to give them free music lessons or getting completely bored with their favourite two or three pieces. Last year I found a girl who could supposedly play the flute and we were going to get a cellist and do trios from a book I had, and every time we practised it was just a free two-hour lesson from me on timing. I could play the flute better than her and I'm self taught. AND I can't play anything with a B in it because my flute cost $40 at a garage sale and is lacking certain essential features. Ack.
So maybe a virtual band is the way to go, all right.
Dave Lister was a character from Red Dwarf who liked to think he could play the electric guitar. The other characters only allowed him to play in a spacesuit out in the airlock.
