Me & My Guitar

 

 

Changing My Tune

 

It’s a New Year and it’s time to play a new tune.  Everything around me is changing, so why not teach myself to change to my own tune.  Sometimes it is difficult to change and/or move in another direction.  Often times, it is even a bit scary to make such changes.  Some changes happen unexpectedly, some are planned, but we all somehow learn that change is imminent.  …and the only constant in life is change.

 

I have chosen to change my tune by learning to play the guitar. I’ve never picked one up to seriously play, so this might present itself to be a challenge. 

 The undeniable sound of a strumming guitar can calm or excite.  It can be easy to listen to or it can sound like fingernails on a chalkboard.  I plan to create and duplicate sounds that move my soul.  This guitar will be yet another way to express myself without having to force an understanding.  While listening to my creations of sound-waves, you allow me to share with the entire world a natural part of me.

As I take this journey with my new guitar,

My ability to learn should take me real far.

 

Sight reading music from bar to bar

On sheets of white, with notes black as tar

 

Striking wrong chords, that is utterly subpar

You’re Living life as a pauper while dreaming as a tzar.

 

Perfecting you’re technique you find who you are

You’re more than just learning, you now are a star.
