Cover for a friend "Your Song" by Elton John

Описание: I apologize because I have been away a few weeks. My hands bother me a lot. I have been unable to play my guitar because my left hand is getting worse and constantly cramps or goes numb. *Digression: When I first created this channel in 2014, I did not really have any content; still, one guy, Brad or someone I must have met in a group was my only subscriber for eight years. I owned a 2007 MIM Fender Strat and a 2010 Taylor 210CE that I never really played. During COVID in 2020, I picked up the Taylor and began to strum more. Then three years ago, Toward the end of 2022, there was a livestream notification that kept popping up a few times. And a song called “Sweat Pea” led me to that channel’s creator. I instantly felt something watching that artist sing and play her guitar. So, I began to watch her Friday Song Club, and I lurked for the first three or four weeks. After a month I began to chat. Watching this singer, guitarist, artist inspired me, and I began to study basic chords harder; I started recording covers of songs that were ringing my head all day. We became friends, even from a long distance, including a trip to visit a mutual friend, my spouse, and me. *End of digression. Anyways, lately, I have been sidetracked due to personal issues, a job wearing me down, anxiety that paralyzes me at times to where I stay in my room, and when I play my acoustics my hands start cramping and going numb when I try to pick the strings; at times I am not feeling the strings as my fingers move over them. Anyways, there is a festival, KURTFEST 2026 this month, and a few friends, even the spouse of the individual the festival is in honor of, suggested I do a set. And I keep saying no because I am not a musician. I am just a guy, lost in his head, trying to find happiness just playing guitar after all these years living a mundane life. And I received a message from a friend last night telling me I should practice and try to do a set for this festival. I still do not believe I am able to do so at the moment. But just for today, I once again picked up my guitar, and I played despite my left hand wishing to close upon itself. Anyway, if you found your way to my traveling show, this channel, I thank you for stopping by; if you are one of the 324 who chose to stay, I am grateful and thank you again. I am not Elton John or any other musician; nor am I a parrot, so I can not play anything note for note. I am just David, a guy who has a soundtrack playing to memories in his head, and for now, I will play my guitar. My muse wears cowboy boots and a floral dress. “Your Song” by Elton John
