Your disclaimer is noted smile. (all in good fun).

If this applied to me I would never have learned to play the guitar and would not be on this forum or writing approximately 30 songs a year, be performing at our national arts festival and be having a huge amount of fun doing it.

I come from a very unmusical family. Nobody understands music or anything about it. I persuaded my mum to buy me a guitar at the age of 13 and bought a John Denver song book. I learned to play every song in it. When I tried to work out songs by ear that I heard on the radio, I could never understand why everything was A, D and E!

Without that JD song book, I would probably not be playing today. I have had years of pleasure from my guitar, just learning and singing songs and probably will until my hands can no longer play.

So, all I am trying to do is provide people with the modern equivalent of that JD song book and make a small side hustle business out of doing so.
