Yesterday afternoon, returning home after a morning of aikido, I was pleasantly surprised to find Eric and his family visiting with Lori. I showed Eric my Epiphone Les Paul (even though I've had it for a while, I didn't think he had ever seen it.) We made plans to go to his house for dinner, and he mentioned in passing that I should bring a guitar with me. He has a beautiful Fender Strat, and we've talked about playing, but never actually have. So I took my Tele and my amp with me just in case.
And we played. We messed around with some simple three-chord songs, and then worked on The Moody Blues' "Tuesday Afternoon", which is a bit more complicated. We also just jammed some, with Eric playing a chord progression and me doing some improv over top of it. Since that's what I'm really working on now, it was a lot of fun.
I had fun, and I hope we'll do it again soon.
Eric's take on the evening is here.
