Age

At my second guitar lesson yesterday, my teacher drew “tabs” on a scale. I played the notes and didn’t recognize the tune. I thought it was because I was fumbling around for the notes and strings so didn’t play it in the correct timing. He played it for me. Still no clue.

I asked him what it was and he explained that it’s the theme song for The Simpsons. The vast majority of his students are children. So he wrote out some good old-fashioned Beethoven. We’re a lot closer in age than The Simpsons!

More later, I have to get breakfast and find out where to buy Zoe’s dog food without driving down the mountain. Cheers, Dee

  1. I don’t think I’d recognize it, either.

    Have you ever sightread something and not recognized it because you’re concentrating so hard and therefore not listening? I have!

    • I learned how to read music shortly after I learned to read. Haven’t read it for many years but now I need to learn guitar “tabs” that are counter-intuitive for me. I’ll get better over time. Guy asks the taxi driver in NYC “How do I get to Carnegie Hall?” and the driver responds, “Practice.”
