Pushing Myself

All those years ago when I first learned how to play guitar, I started by playing songs that I liked. Mostly Metallica and metal stuff. Once I had a feel for things I moved on the chords and scales and began to understand how the guitar worked and how to be creative with it. In my attempts to play piano I've always tried to start with scales and "learn to" books. The other day I came to the realization that if I'm going to learn to play the piano, then I need to learn some songs that I like. I need a challenge, a task to complete. So, while I was picking up the usb midi adapter, I also picked up... Charlie Brown's Christmas for Easy Piano. It's got to be my most favourite piano album of all time. So now I have my challenge, let's see if I'm up to it...
