Twisting your fingers
When I first told my friends I was interested in tackling the guitar everyone laughed and sort of shrugged their shoulders. They weren’t surprised when I made the random outburst during the drive to the movies that night. And they sure as hell weren’t as excited to hear it as I was to announce it. One of them told me I’d never get it down.
Man, its crazy. You gotta… sorta… like… twist your fingers in these weird ways and they be all jacking your finger-tips up and stuff
They were right! But the more you learn the easier it becomes, the prettier it sounds and the less it hurts. Isn’t that true with most new things you do in life? If you wanna build muscle, you gotta lift weight, sometimes it hurts, most times its hard, but it pays off in the long run. Same applies with public speaking, learning to read and cook. Well, maybe not so much cooking. I still burn toast and popcorn (the popcorn button on my microwave always burns it). Right Shadelle?
