Guitar

The aul guitar has come in handy I tells ya! Well, it’s handy for using in class and getting a party going in the pub and so on. Now, it may have introduced me to some new people...

I started doing Latin dancing a while ago since I had nothing to do in the evenings. I’m shite at it but it’s something to work at. Anyways, a week or so ago, I was at the dancing (in one of the dining halls) and there were a couple of lads playing electric guitars. I mentioned it before, I think. I had a laugh with them that time. Anyways, I was at the dancing last night and the guitar dude came up to me and said a load of stuff in Chinese, of which I caught 20%!! They said they’d be there tonight as well, so I came to meet them. Turns out they are starting up a guitar club and they wanted me to join. No probs. Played a few songs and had a chat with some of them. Seem like a sound bunch. 2 of them are more into the sort of heavier end of the spectrum. I actually think it was them who I saw playing Nirvana at one of the shows I went to last month!

So, hopefully I can learn some good Chinese songs from these lads and have a few good sessions!
