Broke down and brought the electric with me on the trip to NW Iowa. I also packed a bagful of theory resources and other lessons to fill up the small amount of down time I knew we would have.
I grabbed the first chance I had (which wound up being quite late tonight) to sneak in a few minutes of time with the guitar in my hands. I didn't have that much time, but it still felt good to crack open a book and sit with a guitar for a few minutes at least.
Having brought along a book on music theory, the Rock Goldmine book, and the book of lessons from Guitar One, it was the last of the three that I went for tonight, because, with my time constraints, that one seemed the least likely to have me falling into it for multiple hours at the end of a long day.
We did some listening on the way here today. The Mrs. had picked up the new Lady GaGa record (not my usual listening choice), and then I stumbled onto the new Stone Temple Pilots EP at one of our stops along the way. Both records were not what I expected, but both made for interesting listens. I've got a lot more to say about both, but to try and put my thoughts into a well-structured post at this point in the day is a bit much. This is definitely something I'll come back to in the next few days, but for now I think I need to get some rest.
Today was a good day with family, and just a bit of music at the end of the day to keep things feeling normal.
