It gives me great happiness to see myself sing and play the guitar at the same time, something that seemed impossible to me a few months back. It has not been too long since I got a hang on the chords, but knowing to play a few chords and chord progressions has opened doors to a whole stack of my favorite tracks.
I couldn't sing and play my guitar at the same time. I could concentrate on just one. If I was playing the chords, I couldn't sing accordingly. Basically, there was no synchronization. So, I started hyming instead of singing….the sync was still not perfect.
One day, I was talking to my mother and was updating her on what I had learnt on my guitar. She casually asked me to play one of my latest and I just pulled out a song on my 6-string and started playing a Tamil song…..just to fool with my mom, I started to sing that song along. Bravo!! Bravo!! I played and sang that song perfectly at sync. My mother said, " Impressive….Looks like you have been practicing a lot." I was shocked. "Oh My God", I said, covering my face like I had just won the Miss Universe.
Miraculous to me, indeed.
