Kansas - Carry on Wayward Son

3. Pretty Good Teacher

On guitar.
Piano, not so much. In my mid 20s, I taught both guitar & piano at a local store about a mile from my house.
By then, I has been playing piano around 20 years. When the kids would struggle with something I'm battling an urge to scream "Come on! This is easy!" I had forgotten what it was like for piano to be hard.
On guitar, I was only playing 5 years. I remembered my fingertips hurting. I remembered that, as much as I understood music & chord construction, that my fingers would automatically go where I needed them to go. I remember that single notes were harder than I figured.
I had way more empathy as a guitar teacher than as a piano teacher.
