Guiataring

My lovely friend Meg got me a guitar from a carboot sale about 3 weeks ago.
The other day I bought one of those plucky thing from the music shop. And the other day before that I got a learn guitar picture book from the Oxfam book shop lady.

Today I have learnt some new songs on my guitar and been singing along.
Singing is fun. Guitar is fun.

I recorded a song on my camera to see what it sounded like.My face is kinda gay, it moves different than I thought it did. my voice sounds weird.


i learnt Oasis dont look back in anger, and Christina Perri jar of hearts.
I did 4 takes cos i kept looking and sounding silly.

Take 1, i look silly, i am almost in tune, and my performance was rudely interrupted and came to an abrupt end half way through when my adorable kitty kat started pissing on a cushion next to me. Little sod.

Take 2, bert and ernie are leaping about in the background from time to time, between covering thier ears with thier paws and meowing 'stop' which in my head i pretend they are saying 'encore!' i still look silly. Still not in tune.

Take 3, look even more sillier as i am now trying so hard to concentrate. Had the bright idea of tuning my guitar so am more in tune.

Take 4.. Still silly, Still making mistakes on guitar, still not sounding much like Celine Dion...so sped up the video x2 which made me laugh hysterically when watching it back and makes guitar playing much quicker and sound like a banjo and my voice much more like a chipmunk. Its all very silly.

But even if you have a silly voice, i recommend singing sometimes. It might make you feel better :-)


And if i ever decide to go on x-factor, which, i will never ever do as would probably rather die than stand on a stage in front of lots of people, if i ever have a manic deluded moment when x-factor auditioning seems a good idea... I must remember to watch my video and then review the situation from a realistic point of view.

If I was a better singer, and gooder guitarist, and if I was brave, i would post the video.

But I am not, so Im not going to!



Im going to post this cute little doodle instead:
