Learn to play guitar and become a folk singer

I am tone deaf. bottom line. and i have no rhythm. whatsoever. i will stick with tamborine, but I have neither the patience nor the time to learn guitar well enough at this point. so i will sit back and watch with awe hubby as he strums strums.

so i haven’t read my guitar lessons, but taylor taught me e minor and then something else, which he didn’t remember the name of. so i can play two chord thingies. woohoo! it’s fun, but my fingers hurt. if i strum really hard, i can feel it after in my chest. i like that feeling. also, i have a broken bottom string. they’re crappy strings which all need to be replaced forthwith, so decrees taylor. first lesson!!!!

first 10 pages of my guitar book.
