Those Who Can't......Teach....

O.K. here's the thing......Back say 20 years ago....Yes Holy Shit 20 years ago I showed potential as a young guitar student. Picking up scales and riffs...Working my butt off because I wanted to rock like Jimi Hendrix and look like Lita Ford.......Shit happens right...Life happens....And well lets just say I never finished. Granted at least my new hair cut is cool.....BUT I still haven't really picked up the electric guitar and plugged it in and said YOU CAN DO THIS...REMEMBER??? Until today....Now I have been giving lessons....I have watched Jessie learn and pick up what I show her fast. I am impressed...and if I inspire her I hope she knows that she too inspires me to work harder and learn or should I say RE-learn things. Today was a good example of that...I will learn "Cowboys from Hell" if it kills me. I have to admit that 20 years ago the fingers were more agile and the wrist was a bit more flexible...but this old dog still has some new tricks left in her. AND I have a lot of hours this summer that I need to fill with something productive.

So...I will leave you with this....just because well......It's just funny as hell.....

Thank you...:) And I am flattered by the good teacher thing...I need to figure out how to get lessons in during summer vacation. ")
