Who knew you could lose yourself in practicing? When I tried Piano… I couldn’t sit still for more than 10 minutes and I like piano. I hated the teacher though… God she was an unpleasant person.<\/p>\n
Last night, I just lost track of time while I was just working on simple stuff at the beginning of the primer.<\/p>\n
I’m not even to the level of sucking yet, but I’m having a damn good time practicing the guitar. <\/p>\n
My finger tips hurt and I don’t mind. <\/p>\n
I’ve even been able to play 8 notes of Ode To Joy<\/em> in a recognizable way. (Told you I wasn’t yet to the level of sucking) But damn! I’m enjoying myself.<\/p>\n If I’m enjoying myself half as much in a month I’m going to be a happy guy.<\/p>\n I’m still working the chords and when I’ve had enough of that I’m trying to pick out the notes of some of the more recognizable songs in the primer.<\/p>\n Yeah it’s not the “Traditional” way of learning music but each day the chords sound better and the notes ring clearer… Even if it sounds like I’m a 78 record being played at 33 1\/3.<\/p>\n There are a whole bunch of young folks out there who are saying what??<\/p>\n For those of us that know what I’m talking about… You get the picture.<\/p>\n I’m not close enough to Geddy Lee or The Edge to even breathe a single molecule of the same air.<\/p>\n But someday before I die I’m hoping that I can play some music on my beauty that actually sounds like music.<\/p>\n Only time and practice will tell.<\/p>\n In the mean time… I’m having a good time and well the guitar doesn’t seem to mind.<\/p>\n I guess there’s some truth to you’re never too old to try something new.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Who knew you could lose yourself in practicing?
