I got a chord book and a couple of song books and looked at the little chord diagrams to know where to put my fingers on acoustic guitar. Then a guy taught me how to fingerpick Dust In the Wind and Dreamboat Annie. After I had my guitar for a year I heard Chuck E's In Love when it first came out and I loved it so much I was determined I was gonna figure out how to play it. I worked so hard to learn that song. Every day I played and sang with that record - over and over and over and over until I got the chords and the timing on the guitar right and her vocal timing and inflections right. Once I learned it, it was so much fun to do and people really got into it.

That brought back some good memories. Here's the song by the original artist in case you don't recognize it.
