Truth be told #3 - I've never struck a chord

To be fair, when it comes to my list of very, very limited fortes music is not one of them.
I do realise that makes me the black sheep of the family for my lack of talent in that area.

Here's one to throw youse all off.
I do not know my guitar chords.
YES. I DON'T. serious.
No joke.
That's why it took me twice as long to practice my music performos and why I was so nervy.
I really don't know my chords... well I guess I do know them but I just don't know the name of them...
How I learnt was pretty much by memorising the piece itself. Yeah... my guitar "skills" are self-taught and by watching others. getting lessons for any music instrument just irks me. This "fear" (if I may call it that) started from my piano lessons when I was in primary school. Man, I'll tell you. I was HORRIBLE with my timing.
 It sure did not help that my piano teacher was strict as heckkk either, she always acted as if there was a stick up her whatwhat. I remember that one lesson when she just sat there and told me I was playing the piece wrong over and over again. After the third try she just gave up.... legit. took out a magazine and just said she'll wait till I fix my mistake... so I kept playing that same damn piece NOT KNOWING where the hell I was making a mistake, much less WHAT THE HELL my mistake was. GG.
it was the most painful hour of my freaking life. I wanted to just curl up in a fetus position and die. When my mum came to pick me up I told her I was quitting during our car ride.
It was *that* bad. Ever since then I just hated the thought of getting actual music lessons other than the muck around ones that my s.bro offers from time to time.


So, there you have it. A somewhat traumatic memory of my childhood that just makes me want to crawl under a rock.
I fooled you alls. I do realise I lead a life much like Phoebe Buffay. At least I nailed the old lady. AYE AYE. WHATUP. No? Stuff you. High fiving a million angels.


double reference whaaaaaaaaaaaat.
