Finger Lickin' and Pickin'

Tonight I had my second guitar lesson where I learned how to string my guitar - the wrong way and the right way.

And by that I mean I had to return to the guitar store and buy some more strings after a mishap that nearly put someone's eye out. Talk about being wound too tight.

My teacher is quite patient with me -- considering at one point my histrionics were even getting on my nerves.

Teacher: Your fingers should go...here. Feel that?

Me: That hurts.

Teacher: Try this. How about that?

Me: Why are you doing this to me?!?

Teacher: Put your hand....here.... Yes! That's good.

Me: That's just...unnatural!

Like I haven't had that conversation before -- but this time with more enjoyable results.
