Fabulous at 50, Dahling

I owe a LOT to him. I remember, when I first got my guitar, I was so excited; I had wanted to learn how to play for a long time. So I look at the chord diagram, put my fingers in the right places on the fret board, and strum. Clunk. Again. Clunk. Again. Clunk. So I go into guitar class about two years later, and say, "Mr. Ellis, I know I'm doing the chords right, but why does it clunk?" and he said, "You're not pressing down hard enough." I didn't really believe him, but then I did (man, it hurt) and sure enough, I played a perfect D. In that class, just a few weeks later, I played Hey Jude for my final, while other kids were playing You Are My Sunshine and Hush Little Baby. By that time, I also knew how to play Good Riddance (Time of Your Life) and Let it Be. I OWE SO MUCH TO MR. ELLIS! Even though those songs are really simple, it feels great to be able to pick up a guitar and actually be able to play something.
Yeah, I know it wasn't Queen related, but deal with it. It's my blog, so there. : P
Video of the Week is tomorrow! YAY! Remember to give me your requests. I will probably play it next week, since I've already been "booked" for this week.
Well, that's it. LOVE YA ALL! Gotta go do my stupid homework...*pouts*
