Guitar Lessons

The first song I learned for guitar.. Halah by Mazzy Star.

Today I had my first guitar lesson. My teacher is great so I'm quite satisfied with my choice... Very mellow and nice. Also, he knows of most of the bands I listen to. Upon sitting down in the little room, he asked if I recognized 'this' song and played on his guitar. I said no. He said it was a classic played on the radio a lot, so I said, oh, I don't really listen to the radio much. So he asked what I listen to. I said I liked Mazzy Star. He said, oh, he knows one of their songs.. He paused to try to remember it and started playing, and it at once sounded familiar. "oh! That song.. what was it called..?" "I think it's called.. Hallah?" "Yeah, that's right." He strummed for a while and I was surprised to hear him sing.
"Surely don't stay long, I'm missing you now... It's like I told you I'm over you somehow.. Before I close the door, I need to hear you say goodbye. Baby won't you change your mind?"
His voice was well maintained and could go surprisingly high for a man of his age (not old but not young). Sounded quite pretty. Motivation indeed, to sound that good.

He taught me my first chords.. C, G, F, etc.. And I tried them out and slowly memorized them. After about 45 minutes my fingers were hurting, but it'll just take adjusting. He gave me things to practice at home.. Will be good practice for me.
Mmmhm...
