That's how it sounds when I play the guitar. "Play the guitar?", you ask??? "At YOUR age???" Well... yeah! And... what's worse is that I'm taking lessons! AND... I'm having so much fun!
I'm taking guitar lessons from Andy, who is a terrific guitar player and one of my favorite people. I am his test of patience.
As soon as I found out that Andy teaches guitar lessons, I contacted him.
"Andy... do you have an age limit for lessons?"
"Well, I don't teach kids under 12."
"Hmmmmm. How about an upper age limit... like over 60?", I asked ever-so-sweetly. :-)
Andy laughed and then foolishly agreed to give me guitar lessons. See how nice he is??? He'll be WAY sorry (if he's not already)!
"What's your goal?", asked my ever-so-serious guitar teacher.
"Ultimately, I'd like to suck less.", I answered, reaching for the stars. I reaaaaaally suck now. Maybe with Andy's great teaching and a lot of hard work on my part, eventually I might suck... less. A noble goal.
So! Tonight's lesson was mainly theory and review and regrouping. Andy has some great ideas about what direction we should take. And I'm just excited to be there!
Rock on!
