Guitar Axe Hero

As some of you will have heard, despite being utterly tuneless I have taken up the guitar, Dave my flatmate has decided he’s going to teach me. His unique mixture of fine musician & Buddhist monk will be tested to the limits but may be a combination that could work. He’s supremely confident I less so. I have managed to learn the major chords i.e. where the fingers should go as oppose to actually being able to play them and have nearly mastered the basic chord sequences of “Wild Thing” & “She’ll be coming round the mountain”, neither of which I recognise when I play them. My next piece of homework is to learn “When the saints go marching in” apparently it’s similar to “Yi Yi Yippee”
