Cheap music

Hack. Cough. I am in no kind of guitar-playing shape.

However, before I was stricken by this plague, I did go to a used book sale at the local library, and I bought several issues of Sheet Music magazine from 1978/79, which has guitar and piano music for several songs per issue. Contents range from Broadway standards to country. I am happy. Easy way to get some tabs to familiar songs, all in one place, and good to have more contemporary piano music, too. I do get tired of the wonderful world of Hanon's finger exercises.

Get thee to a bookstore

If you're a Wilco fan, and even if you're not, rush to read the Fretboard Journal cover article on their secret loft in Chicago, guitar nerd paradise. FJ is a gorgeous, expensive magazine with fantastic articles about, well, fretboard instruments, players, and history. I indulged in one for my train ride to Wisconsin, and did not regret it.
