Guitar Lessons

Went to dinner with Rose last night in the Design center in Retiro. It started to rain heavily after dinner and of course all the cabs where full. We waited for half hour and finally decided to just walk. Luckily I don't feel sick today since it was kind chilly last night and I was soaked on the way home. I ended up not getting home until 2 am.

Had another lesson with Narciso today. We spoke about different rhythmic patterns for accompaniment on the guitar and some harmony issues. I'll be meeting him on Wednesday morning in a music store on Sarmiento and Callao to look at some guitars. I don't think I'll be buying anything this time and I have a feeling I'm looking for slightly better guitars than the ones in the store. Ideally I would really like to custom order one with a slightly shorter scale length for easier playing. I'll have to do a little more research when I go back to Rochester. I know one good maker in Spain but I don't know how long it would take get one made just for me. I have a pretty good idea about the pricing for guitars but it's always kind of a guessing game sometimes with purchases in other countries as a traveler. I have two more lessons with Narciso before I leave on Friday and we're going to speak more about harmonies.
