It's a Twister, Mister

One of the things I love most about the South is the thunderstorm and other inclement weather phenomenons- namely, the tornado. Just last night I sat on my front porch admiring a lightening storm moving South over downtown. But the visual affects are not the only things I love about a good storm. One mention of a tornado watch or warning and the whole entire city shuts down. Work closes early, shops send their employees home, suddenly you're second-guessing whether or not you should get in your car and drive home for fear you may get caught up in the eye. And even at age 28, my parents think that I would be 100 times safer at their house during a storm, than I would be in my own condo.

Trill - a consecutive series of hammer-ons and pull-offs, typically played very fast The loop symbol tells you to play a Barre chord - if in doubt, check my hub Guitar Barre Chords. If you struggle with these chords, and most people do, there are some short cuts here. G|--------|--------|--------|---------| But this takes up some of your learning time with the teacher resulting in more expense. Another good way to learn to play properly is by having your country guitar lesson on a DVD.
