Lyrics : 4 + 20

Four and twenty months ago, I took up the guitar
I paid for some workshops, but I didn’t get too far
I learned some songs and chords
But my playing wouldn’t win any awards
And I was paying more than I could afford

I quit the paid lessons when the great recession set
I went lookin’ for free music on the internet
So many bad sites, made me numb
I picked up bad habits, like this wayward thumb
Was the eternal beginner, played so dumb

Went to see Keola Beamer – he’s the slack key star
And I heard Neil Hogan touting Totally Guitar
I joined Target and now I have a plan
Learning songs and music theory from the man
Making this video in D5, cause I can
