Sweet Music... Sweet Shot : WW

We've been listening to a lot of beginner strumming here at Bungalow'56.
So I decided to take a few sweet shots of the process.

We've also been avid watchers of American Idol this past season.
I'm not sure if the two have any correlation?

Eldest and Middlest have decided to learn how to play the guitar.
Oh yes... Mama Bungalow can play a mean rendition of Grandma's Feather Bed.
So of course I was happy to help them in any way I could.
But....

It seems they feel more comfortable using the internet via my iPhone.
So far, it has taken my place has been able to foster my children's musical aspirations wonderfully.

After only one week they are playing songs like 
Untouchable by Taylor Swift 
You're Beautiful by James Blunt and
Blackbird by The Beatles.

Of course... they know I'm here, in case they want to learn...
Thank God I'm A Country Boy by John Denver or
This Land Is Your Land.

I can tell they are just trying to get a feel for the instrument 
before having a little hootenanny with mom!

I. bet. they. just. can't. wait.

Kum ba yah anyone?

  5. Love these photos! I think I spent about two days trying to learn guitar when I was young. Ha, I think I was smart to stick to using a paintbrush. ;)

    Happy Tuesday! Have a great week! Love your colorful blog, Dana!

  10. Beautiful photos! This scene is very familiar to me as I married into a family of gifted musicians. Many days I watched and listened to my stepson playing his guitar as he was learning to share his gift. It was beautiful to watch that develop. I absolutely love music and have absolutely no talent. I'm impressed!

  12. hang in there, girls! my son taught himself and now he's in a band. he says, "you have to be willing to be really really bad for a while!" he said that to the younger when he contemplated learning. he gave up that dream in about 53 seconds.

  16. My 17-year-old son has mentioned that he would like to learn to play the guitar. I, however, cannot read a note, not even a single musical note. But it appears that won't matter.

    Very nice shots, as always.
