An eleven-year-old boy Saxon Weiss
Mastering the playing of guitar
He plays at a far advanced level
So young a rising star
I pick up my own virgin guitar
Determined to do it justice
I’ll start taking lessons
To search its robustness
To challenge myself
Because of a boy of eleven
Not that I’ll be as good as him
But good enough for sixty-seven
A lifetime Bucket List wish
To be a guitar player
No longer procrastinate
By saying I’ll do it later
I watch the video of Saxon Weiss
Playing like a pro
Encouraging me all the more
Confidence building as I go
Use your magic fingers Saxon
Play your heart out
Be true to yourself
Part of what life’s all about

Just pick up and paly your guitar AP it will bring you so much joy.
Andy
I could play the guitar now Andy, but it might resemble a lot like Orchi's singing. 😁
You got that guitar? Or even a ram's horn as an olde instrument. Takes a lot of puff! I tried playing one but the ram wanted it back. lol.
I got the guitar last summer Orchi, and I got my RAM truck last fall. But I don't have a Ram's horn, not sure I have the puff for that one. 🙄 I dare you to take the Ram's horn back from him. 😁
I'm naughty in calling a musician 'Mad M.....' But he will break that keyboard one day, hammering at it!
Orchi you used 5 dots ..... I'm gonna tell Neville. 😁
Argh!! lol.
Superb work.
Thank you Tom for the read and compliment. 😉👍
A remarkable young man, the prodigies always amaze us. Love the music, and love your guitar, you're already a star!
Yes Bell, I've watched a number of his videos, for such a young age, he's really doing quite well and plays with other older well-established musicians. I'll predict he'll be a huge star in years to come. I'm no more a star than anyone else here at MPS. But thank you for the compliment. 😉👍I do appreciate it.
I have just had one of those incredible deja vu moments .. I distinctly remember listening to the young fella but I truly thought I had also previously left my comment here as well .. Cant remember exactly but something about it never being too late to learn ...Must an age thing .. Neville
Speaking personally, yeah it's an age thing N, but for you, I did have a previous entry about Saxon Weiss playing the guitar, so that's where you probably left that message. And thank you for your confidence in me. 😉👍
Phew .. thought I was going doolally for a micro moment or two .. 😎😁👍
Welcome to the club N, 😉
I've read this before not so long ago maybe last week. And my reflection is never stop trying new things I believe that playing music comes from within it's a true gift also passed on from genetics I can always tell a true guitar player. Or we have it or we don't. The music industry being one of the harshest walls to break. Learning for fun is an incredible achievement. 🌹
Neville said the same thing Teddy. February 3rd I posted "As Easy as Breathing" which I speak of Saxon Weiss and his playing guitar so well at such a young age. Yes, I'm that impressed with him that I included him in two of my poems. And my learning guitar is just for fun. I've no expectations or even interest in pursuing any professional ventures playing guitar. Thanks for reading and your valued comments Teddy. 😁👍
