Learn Guitar My Son

There was I in my early twenties
sitting bored on a Sunday afternoon
mu mum suggested, get a hobby
but being a loner was well out of tune

My mind was blank till mum said
learn guitar, my son, well maybe
so I bought an acoustic guitar
then got lessons to learn my key

As I started learning some real tunes
it seemed I should've begun while a teen
but some progress I was actually making
after a year thought what might have been

So gave it up, wonder why?
probably not dedicated far enough
but now really appreciate class
guitarists playing real splendid stuff

My experiences make one appreciate
the skilful play of these in master class
like Bream, Williams, Romero and the like
inspiration they do bring, pray not to pass

(I recall here my early 20s and making effort to learn guitar which was not to be but learn to appreciate those who could especially in the classical field.)

G'day Gordon … I often sat and listened to my daughter, who plays and teaches guitar and wonder how the heck does she do that. I enjoyed this verse of yours Gordon - Lindsay
