The rules

I didnt fancy doing these in order so I thought I would post all 30 challenges here and highlight as I go. And I am going for two together today.

day 26 - a song that you can play on an instrument
day 27 - a song that you wish you could play

I had, eversince I was real small, wanted to play the guitar, but several things stopped me, not least being that mum and dad didnt have money for lessons let alone an instrument. Plus I had no idea where you even started finding out where to get lessons from. When I was 17, I walked into the classroom one lunchtime and one of the girls had bought in her guitar and was doing an extremely good job of playing this!



Layla by Derek and the Dominoes 1970

Of course even more determinded to get my own guitar after that, my first full time job pay packet went on buying one. I still didnt know where to go to get lessons so with the help of a self teaching book I managed to pick out both the chords and the tune to that classic that everyone first learns to play!!



House of the Rising Sun by The Animals 1964

I have to admit thats as far as I ever got in learning it, and it then found its way to the attic where many years later the neck managed to fall off. Mind I dont think I would ever have managed to be as good as the master Mr Eric Clapton!
