Liner Notes

#acousticonetake #americana #acoustic

I shouldn't complain, but I got stuck on a lyric earlier and what's the perfect solution? Write a song with only five unique lines but repeat one of those lines nine times. TWALA!

Oh, and it wouldn't be as accurate without the unintentional flub, right?

Lyrics

I wish I could play the guitar
I wish I could play the guitar
I'd play it in my house, I'd play it in the car
I wish I could play the guitar

I wish I could play the guitar
I wish I could play the guitar
I'd form a rock band and try to be a star
I wish I could play the guitar

I wish I could play the guitar
I wish I could play the guitar
I'd write a lovely song about mending broken hearts
I wish I could play the guitar
I wish I could play the guitar

Single minded can be charming - and, of course, we all can see you can play the guitar 😄
...always a bonus to get an artist chuckle in the track.
I'm like it.

I dig it! Simple and sweet. This would be a great platform for making a lot of cool texture and color things happening in the background if you made it more ballad like, maybe a little slower? Good job!

Yeah right, you play a lot better than me. But guitars are hard to play.
Nice simple idea for a song tho. I like it.

I wish I could play guitar like you. Those are cool little riffs. So this is a very interesting challenge. You only put four unique lines in it though. You need another verse so we can all have fun longer.
