Cycled there since my Dad wasn't back yet. A bit late.
Even though i had finished Book 1, i brought it along anyway cause i didn't know what else to bring.
Teacher wanted to hear me play the last page.
"Practiced?"
"Er...no."
"Haha...Okay, never mind. Come, play."
Struggled to get the right chords...but i survived. Hehe
"Okay, i don't think i can give you Book 2 since you're not coming already. Let me see if i have any other pieces for you." He flipped through his clear folder. "Hmm... is there any specific thing you would like to learn?"
"Umm...maybe strumming."
"Oh. Strumming. Okay. Let me see if there're any songs that are suitable. If i give you Chinese songs, you can read them?"
" -.-' Nope."
"Haha. Alright. You're not familiar with those old songs, are you?"
"Not really."
"Have you heard of xxx(i forgot the song title he mentioned)?"
"Hmm... i don't think so."
"What about 'When You Say Nothing At All'?"
"Yup."
"And 'Sealed With A Kiss'?"
"Uh huh. Yea."
He then pulled out the music sheets from his folder.
So he taught me those two songs. First was 'When You Say Nothing At All'. He played once through then showed me the plucking and strumming pattern. Then, he left me to practice and went to teach another student. I could learn it roughly in quite a short time. Still needed practice to change the chords.
Then it was 'Sealed With A Kiss'. That was umm...thougher for me. Quite a lot of chord changes here and there. So there was my weakness ><
I like the first song better XD
When it was time already, Teacher told me, "These two songs, you can go and photocopy them if you want."
I was most grateful^^ "Thank you, Teacher. I'll pass them to my Sister to hand it back to you."
I don't know when i'll be back to see you again but thanks a million for what you have taught me. Music IS my life. The instruments are my medium to express myself. Thank you for teaching me to play the Guitar and giving me another tool to colour my life.
Happy Teacher's Day in advance.
