Guitar Guitar Guitar!!!!
I practiced my acoustic a lot today and then did some on the electric as well. I also ordered 2 dozen picks and a guitar stand. If you know those times when you are more inspired to practice, well this is one of them. I have a Takamine G340SC and a Jackson SL2H. Unfortunately my amp is crap but that doesn't affect the finger work that needs to be done. I've been working to improve just outright technical proficiency in the picking hand and strength in my left hand. Piano is doing some help I can notice already, and I see this will be a dual benefit. The best thing I know of doing so far for that is repeating scale type patterns and also ones that shift up or down. Picks similar to Fender medium are the best for me. I'd like to see what other guitarists of different styles prefer just out of curiosity.

Got My Wisdom Teeth Taken Out
The only remarkable memory of the procedure itself was out of embarrassment trying not to smile from the nitrous oxide. Next they put the IV in my hand and I don't remember going out, so it must have been sudden. When I went home, the pain wasn't bad. It never ended up hurting and I didn't ever have to use the pain pills. I guess the anti-inflammatory medication did its job well. Unfortunately I had some bad gas and more recently periods of dizziness. I was supposed to be knocked out the day of the surgery but after sleeping a little bit I was back 80 percent or so and able to function fine. Hopefully later surgeries I may have to have end up going this well.
