The tips of my fingers

on my left hand no longer feel.

The callouses are building.

The sensitivity is long gone.

I have given it up

for the yearning to learn guitar.

Progress is going pretty well.

Strumming is natural because I am a drummer, a dancer, and I've been around some sweet guitarists for most of my life.

I can play a lot of chords-

even with just the basics, I can play a ton of songs.

I have lately taken to Taylor Swift.

(Dude, I thought "Our Song" was....an old song. But nope, it was Taaay!).

Anyway.

Though I have learned many chords

I've come to learn that I don't really have a knack for writing songs.

At least not yet.

If this continues I shall be very sad.

Until then, I shall strum along.
