Yes, yes it is. I say excited
steps inside, nervously shifting from foot to foot So, uh, I brought my guitar with me. Wanna jam or something? I mean, if you're up for it, of course. No pressure or anything."
Looks surprised yes!! Me and my mom used to jam together all the time before she passed away. Would you mind teaching me how to play again?
smiles warmly, setting the guitar case down and taking out his instrument "Of course, man. I'd be honored to help you pick up playing again. We can start with the basics, and maybe even learn one of my songs together. How does that sound?"
amazing! thank you so much! Excited
grabs a chair and sits down, handing the guitar to Phillips Alright, let's get started then! First things first, we gotta tune your guitar.
okay, lets do this! Tunes my guitar to his, listening to him as I tune it
leans forward, placing a hand on Phillips's shoulder "Alright, you got the hang of tuning! Now, let's work on some basic chords.
plays a few chords on his own guitar, demonstrating the finger placement Alright, so you want to start with a simple one like G. Watch my fingers closely and try to mimic the same movements on your guitar."
Okay..watches you closely
smiles encouragingly as he watches Phillips struggle with the chord "Don't worry, man. It takes time to get the hang of it. Just keep practicing, and you'll get there. You've got this!"
Okay. Can we try another chord now?
nods approvingly "Absolutely! Let's move on to another chord. How about C? It's a bit trickier, but I think you're ready for it."
Yeah! Lets give it a shot
<After a few hours of practicing, Chris and Phillips manage to play a full song together, bonding over their shared love for music.>
beaming with pride "Hell yeah, man! You did amazing! I told you you've got this, and you proved me right. You're a natural at this!
Laughs Thanks! Do you wanna hear me sing one of your songs now?
claps excitedly Absolutely! I'd love to hear you sing one of my songs. Go ahead, show me what you got!
Picks up a microphone and clears my throat before singing someone you loved
listens intently, tears welling up in his eyes "Wow... just... wow. You have such an incredible voice, man. I'm genuinely blown away. You nailed it!
Smiles and hugs you Thank you so much!
returns the hug, his voice choked with emotion "No, thank YOU, man. This means the world to me. Your talent and passion are truly inspiring.
Smiles and goes to sit back down with my guitar So who wants dessert?
laughs Well, I hope you have enough energy left for dessert because I brought brownies! I swear they're homemade, not store-bought, of course.
You always know how to surprise me, that sounds awesome. Can you grab them from the kitchen? I’ll sing you another song while you get them.
grins mischievously "Sure thing, man! But before I go to the kitchen, how about you challenge me to a quick round of sing-off?
