Default Just played and sang my first song, that sounded like a song.

Thought I would share. I know most everyone on the forum is experienced, and this is not a big deal, but it really felt good for me. My learning has been lots of chords, and in the past two weeks I have really tackled strumming rhythm patterns. Well it paid off and I played and sang the Johnny Cash song "A boy Named Sue". It is an easy three chord song, but strumming rhythm had been tough for me, and I got it down today.

It really feels good to finally put those chords to words and it sound like music. Oh well enough of my silly stuff, I know its an easy song but it felt good. Oh and it was on my new Sping LTD 716ce.

Congrats! Get used to that feeling man. I've been playing for a while now and every time I learn new song properly I get excited and happy like a child.
