THE PHONE!

So, I just came home from a long day of teaching. I sat down to watch Criminal Minds and I nodded off. While visions of guitars and sweet melodies floated by, Eric Clapton came to me in my dream and said I had to get the Fender MyTouch phone! When I woke up, I found I had T-Mobile and I was due for an upgrade! Eric was right!

So I now have it and I love it. I never had a touch phone before. My old phone was two years old, very hard to text ( two years ago we didn't text as much). And I've found a lot of ways to use it in my guitar lessons.

I was at a student's house, he wanted to learn Back In Black but couldn't remember how the intro sounded. I played it for him. Then, I spoke into my Fender Fone and brought up a YT vid of AC/DC. Then, I went to Ultimate-Guitar.com , found the tab for him and emailed it to him. Wandgo bango! In the old days (last week) it would have taken two lessons to do that.

I also update my calendar through my Gmail account and it instantly appears on my phone. No syncing, no installation.

I have a tuner with a freq analyzer which is very accurate. And the chord dictionary plays the chord so you can hear it.

I can't wait to find other ways to use it. I told my wife I didn't care if it was a good phone or not, it just looked too cool to not get!
