Need a good venting. lol.
I just got back from my guitar lesson, which until now, was going pretty good. I thought the guy (John) was cool and knew his music stuff really well. I still think the same, but I would like to add 'Arrogant jerk' too ;)
I'm probably looking to deep into this, but I can't help but think he was just being rude. He was teaching me how to play the song 'Broken' as it was on the CD he asked me to bring in of stuff I want to learn. After a while (I guess I wasn't doing too good?) he stops and was like 'This is really frustrating. What about you? Are you frustrated??" o_O I was like "...Sorry??"
So he says the song is probably too hard for me...Which *I* didn't think was too hard, I just need time to play around with it myself. I really think I could get it if I worked on it...but you know, that's kind of a confidence smasher.
After that, he just seemed really bored and annoyed till he eventually just stopped and said "Ok, we'll work on 'Black Bird' next time." Gives me my book back and looks at me for a minute. (There is still 10 minutes left and I'm like...so are we finished? o_O He did this last week too and said we'd go 10 mins over...urg) I just left.
I don't know, but it just seemed really rude to me. I have no confidence in myself and I feel I'll never learn to play good...Then stuff like this happens and reassures me I'm right about it.
Oh yeah, I think he told me about 50 times my nails were too long. Yeah, I know. I simply forgot to cut them.
AND THEN, there is the receptionist (who I'm afraid to tell I don't plan on staying there and paying any more for the rest of the lessons. (I've paid for like 4 so far and have had 2) but anyway, I told her I didn't want to take my make up classes and she just looked at me and said 'Well, they're already booked' and I was like 'Yeah, but I never paid for them, so I'd rather jsut not take them' Then she had to go ask John if that was ok. (not sure why)
So yeah. I guess I'm being silly about it, but I'm paying $25 an HOUR. I don't really want to feel like I suck any more then I know I do ;) I think I'll finish my last 2 lessons and see about getting lessons from someone else. I think someone doing it on their own would be best....I duno. Do you guys think I'm looking to far into it??
