Ain't Nothing Better!

It;s too bad my dad won't do anything like this. Me and him are into, basically the same music, anything beatles, led zeppelin. Except that I'm into it deeper though. I try to get him to learn some easy stuff, (America- sister golden hair) but he just refuses to, he doesn't even give it a chance.

Also, my family supported my guitar buying, but it's been a year and some months now, and no one has ever commented on my playing or anything. My amp is about 10ft from the living room tv, and I'm constantly being told to lower my guitar, when it isn't even that loud. The only people who appreciate what I do is my friend who I mainly jam with, and my other friends who hang out at the jams.

Sometimes, I don't get my dad, he went out and bought a keyboard, and I find the PERFECT song for us to play. It's santana- flor d'luna. He doesn't even want to. It's one of his favorite songs, and the organ parts are really easy, but he just doesn't want to. I'd bet everything that if we did play together, I'd be a better player. It becomes that you have someone to jam with every weekend.

Ok, I'm done venting/getting rid of my frustration :)
Thank you for this chance, and as a son, I hope you keep jamming with your son to keep the spirit and fun alive, as I would've liked so much.

ok, NOW i'm done

Sorry to hear that your Dad won't join in. :( My guess is he's a little scared of making a fool of himself by not being that good. If he could just take the first step he'd probably really enjoy it.

That's EXACTLY what I try to tell him, and I offer to teach him what he needs to do on the keyboard. I don't even know how to play it, and I'm willing to go through it with him

I play The Black Eyed Peas with my daughter and she plays the Stones and howlin wolf with me, it's a blast. When we went fishing a couple of weeks ago she put my acoustic in the car on her own, and when I looked at her a bit puzzled, she explained "in case the fish aren't biting"

Ever heard PAPA by paul anka.Fabulous song , brings tears to my eyes 8)
