When I was 9 years old my parents bought me a guitar and I began taking lessons. There were three things that I didn’t like –
1. Learning notes instead of chords -it was tedious and you couldn’t play the kind of music that I wantd to with them
2. Having to keep my nails very short in order to hold down the strings properly – my nails were always too long and I would end up muting all the strings
3. Practicing! I never wanted to practice, I just wanted the talent to come to me in my sleep.
Now, it’s ten years later. I know I’m never going to be a musician, but it would be nice to be able to play just ONE song really well on the guitar. I don’t think that’s asking too much. It would probably be “Wonderwall” by Oasis or “Green Eyes” by Coldplay. Or who knows, maybe dedication will strike me and it will be both.
But it would be really nice to be able to pick up a guitar and make actual music with it.
