ALL DAY!! <br />How wonderful you are learning the guitar. I learned in primary school, tried lessons again at 15 and gave up. I loved it, but was too impatient to practice all the time. Now I am older, I get it: I should have stuck with it.<br />So great you are teaching your boy that it's important to try new things and practice helps you grow.<br />Fantastic post. :) <br />I went to school with a guy called Tim McMillan who was very clever and very funny. He played guitar at school and was good then; now he lives in Berlin and has released 2 albums. Please Google him, you will be impressed. He is playful and funny and truly amazing to watch.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1495198733430494988.post-4181017679781306162011-05-28T08:55:26.319+10:002011-05-28T08:55:26.319+10:00I think it is wonderful that you and your son did ...I think it is wonderful that you and your son did that together.

Perhaps he should try the violin next and then he could continue saying it.<br /><br />Alas, I too attempted the guitar at around 20 years of age.

So patient and kind, full of life. I still remember her telling the girls to stick the ukelele under a boob and strum. Likely these days, that comment would get her in hot water, but it was meant in the most comical way possible. I can still play to this day, a testament to a great teacher and Lessons that were more joy than hard work.<br />Thanks for the trip down memory lane.<br /><br />RyRyanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06178982656019966324noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1495198733430494988.post-66684676377405686682011-05-28T00:08:12.613+10:002011-05-28T00:08:12.613+10:00I played guitar for about a year in my early teens...I played guitar for about a year in my early teens, I gave it up in favour of Netball. Dad said I would regret giving up the guitar. He was right. Hate it when that happens. The monkey has a ukulele, he dances around with it and pretends to be Bob Dylan.

I actually did learn the guitar for about a year in high school (I went camping with friends, there was a guy playing his guitar at the campfire for a big singalong and I wanted to be that guy ... well except that I'm a girl ...) but have pretty much forgotten everything. Except that my fingers didn't want to do what they were meant to.Amanda Kendlehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05178108297108834609noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1495198733430494988.post-56875092239528983472010-11-14T13:16:19.139+11:002010-11-14T13:16:19.139+11:00That's a great approach; start with a term and...That's a great approach; start with a term and see how it goes from there. <br /><br />Like everyone else, I'm interested to know if you've both kept it up.Tenillehttp://www.helpmum.com.aunoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1495198733430494988.post-24390620607639460572010-11-14T08:32:54.397+11:002010-11-14T08:32:54.397+11:00I find it hard to think that I did not know you or...I find it hard to think that I did not know you or your blog back in Feb.

More importantly, I hadn't yet learned just how important a comment is to a blogger.<br /><br />My comment at the time would have been "I am so impressed that you are learning the guitar and even more impressed that you are doing it with the Bear. Too sweet for words". Or comments, apparently. xMaxabellahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15761220164069379437noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1495198733430494988.post-29838621010095988982010-11-13T09:03:31.181+11:002010-11-13T09:03:31.181+11:00I love how you are learning an instrument with you...I love how you are learning an instrument with your son.
