During a mid life crisis in 2016, I tried to self learn a few chords on a crappy €50 strat copy. In 2017 I started recording stuff into my computer through a cheapo soundcard. This is an example. I still have no idea where it came from or how to play it.

Then I bought a second hand copy of the guitar Angus Young plays/ed, scuffed it up a bit and recorded a track home alone. That felt better. I eventually plucked up the courage to play the recording to a time-served rock and blues man who had given me a couple of lessons.

Half way through he turned it off and asked “Where the hell did this come from?”

I answered, “The first lesson, you asked me if I wanted to learn music or tracks. Remember, I chose music?”

He smiled, said I'd played a couple of notes he couldn't reproduce on his guitar and put the headphones back on.

I still have no idea where it came from and apart from a couple of chords, I still couldn't play it again.

Having bared my soul I will now retire to my room and die inside! See what you think! #music #12songsofChristmas
