I didn't read it anything like that.
I'm a pretty good judge of character. I've read a lot of what you haven't directly said and had deduced that you're one who is willing to keep working on something until you get it.
That means you're the type of person who won't hint and beat around the bush. If you need something, you'll just ask for it.
I'm sometimes a proponent of saying, "Where there's a will, there's a way." However, that's pithy, wrong, and stupid. In fact, I probably say it a bit sarcastically. Lots of people have willed for ways to stop entropy or create perpetual motion. Which is to say, if you aren't able to move forward or sideways then I don't think even you (and I suspect you are your hardest critic) can fault yourself.
At the same time, boy do I like education! ;-)
Here is why...
This was an original for COF. I'm doing the melody and rhythm - but there's a three month guitar student and she's doing the bass. There's also a kid who can at least count to four and he's playing the brushes.
Yeah, it's jazz - but that's why I like education. I like the results.
Well I’m glad you didn’t take it that way. If I had to be honest I would say I love education too, just probably not the same way most mean it. I love learning and I love watching kids learn and teaching my kids(when they will let me 😀) the education system as it exists today not so much, common core is a peticular frustration the existence of Pearson is another. Having high school kids start in the morning at 7:30am when research has proven they won’t learn effectively at that time in general of coarse there are exceptions. I guess what I’m saying is I love learning just not buerocrats if that makes any sense. Btw that track could not possibly have been played by kids clearly those playing had some experience.
The eldest is still asleep and she has to work today (as do I). She'll beam with pride when I tell her that. She's only maybe a three month student. But, she's all about dedication and pestering me for more information.
Her house (though she pretty much lives at mine) is down at the bottom of the driveway - which is pretty steep. She's walked up the driveway, carrying a guitar, and asked a simple question - at like 21:00.
I asked her why she carried the guitar and she said she thought she needed to bring it. I pointed out that I have many, something she already knows. I asked her why she didn't call and she said, "Dr. G, you can't see over the phone."
I'm fortunate to have such a dedicated mind.
The youngest, he gives zero shits. Even though he can clearly count to four over and over again. I set a metronome up with a blinking red light and said use the brush every time you see that light. He doesn't actually care if you like it of if you don't. Nope. He gives no shits.
We played it through a few times and recorded the last.
;-)
I've always had pretty good luck. I'm lucky to have such wonderful children to call my family - seeing as my own damned children are too stupid to know how to make babies.
Also, I might be a wee bit long-winded today. This afternoon, I leave for a show. I don't like to admit to felonies online, so I'm just going to say that I'm pretty peppy this morning, as I prep for the show. (Prep is pretty much done, I'm preparing myself and soon will be herding the cats.)
Good morning!
You are lucky to have good kids in your life, I wouldn’t trade mine for the world, someday you’ll see why born fighters both of them. Soon a third. I hope they have kids of their own someday as in general that makes women happy and I want them to be happy. That is a smart girl showing dedication and willingness to do what you have to will take you a long way in life at least that’s what I believe. I’m unusually awake this morning myself. No good reason for it maybe I just went to bed early enough. My kids are up and today we go see a movie for the birthday girl, that’s what she wants to do. I have to ask you sometime since I am planning to start my own journey to learn to play, preferable electric, how much is a good instrument to learn on going to cost. I remember reading in one of your articles 250$ is that just for the guitar? What about an amp? So much to learn but it’ll be fun.
