Being Indie In Unsuitable Situations

plank201 [Edit] [Delete] 23:46, 19 June '08

So I've just finished a work experience placement at the studio of a local youth centre, and the other night, there were some kids from the youth club hanging around.

The guy in charge told me to teach some of them some stuff on guitar, despite the fact that I'm not a guitarist and, when I've played, this man has repeatedly complained about how horrible my technique is.

He suggested I show them something simple, like Twinkle Twinkle Little Star. But I didn't want to. So I searched my limited guitar skills for something simple to show them.

Long story short, I ended up trying to teach three 9 year olds how to play the intro to Modest Mouse's 3rd Planet.

So. Further slightly obscure music in incongruous circumstances anecdotes?
