I Can't Play Guitar

Album on iTunes now! http://itunes.apple.com/us/album/almond-dust/id447691179

I think the title explains most everything, but let me cover the rest of the ground.

I'm trying to learn guitar in my spare time, and this is about as far as I've got. I wrote the song, in a way, to make fun of myself and the fact that I can't play this 'easy' instrument. My music skills are not lacking in any way -- I really did start playing music at the age of seven, and I majored in music composition at university. (The part about someone saying I wouldn't be 'famous' if I didn't play guitar, though, is real. It put me in a funk for a while.)

You can make fun of me, too. I don't mind. I'm mostly making fun of myself in this. You cross the line between making fun and hating on, though, and you'll probably get a video about you. (In which I play the piano.)

Friend if you like!

@Rikkuk Hey, I think I remember you! Or at least your name looks familiar from SoundClick. I'm still up there, with my own music! I'm under my real name, so look under Emily Imes.

Honey, as someone who's been playing for years...I think we need to get together so I can help you with your chords....but mainly your strumming patterns. LOL! Love ya!

[KHSMHyperSong]

@ElyseJoy2006 Yeah, I think the chords will come faster than the strumming...hah! But I have every confidence that I'll get it.

Great job, keep it up with the guitar. You'll get it especially with your music background. I really liked your song :)

[KHSMHyperSong]

@DrNick24 Thanks. That gives me a lot of confidence :)
