The birth of a musician - I hope!
I am not posting this because I think it's good. It's more that I want to document the progress someone can make when they attempt to learn an instrument with no prior musical experience. The look on my face is determination and concentration, but I am actually loving it! This is my very first fiddle tune and I am playing it way slower than normal but it is a start. Apologies for quality and sound of video - I shot this on my $100 camcorder and edited with Windows Movie Maker, not the $6,000 camera and Final Cut Pro software, that I haven't worked out how to use yet! So here is mud relic and me on a rainy sunday afternoon:

Awesome! As someone who has been "learning" the guitar for the past eight years (uh, yeah ... no lessons, but I can play "Hush Little Baby, which impresses my two year old granddaughter ;), I think you sound fantastic. Thanks for sharing the video :).
Thanks Wendy - Hush Little Baby is one of my favorites too....
I think you are being far too hard on yourself! This is fantastic JT! You've only just picked the thing up and are already playing it very well. Kevin is right...it is too bad you waited to get musical...you seem to have a natural call for it. We've all got to Jam.
Joanne,
Simply sounds like music to me... Oh wait, isn't that the point!
Well done and yes, we should jam. I think Friday night on the deck should become a jam session.
Sweet! Need a drummer?? :)
