Impractical Instructor by Cunning Linguist

INSTRUCTIONS: Teach someone an impractical but exciting physical skill. Examples include: unicycling, hula-hooping, breakdancing, doing a backflip, sword-swallowing, etc..

My dad once taught me that anything worth doing won't be easy. Bastard lied. I like Jelly Beans, they are easy to eat, and totally worth eating. Not hard. At all. If you have no experience with Jelly Beans, please... believe. In any event, I do feel that it's not entirely a lie... there is some truthiness to that statement. As such, I couldn't think of any one task that I could teach someone how to do in one day that would be worthy enough to grace the digital pages of sfZero. Instead, I decided to document an impractical yet exciting physical skill that takes a loooong time to learn (or at least learn well)

One of my housemates has wanted to learn how to play an instrument but she claims, as many folks nowadays, that "I'm too busy" or "I'll never learn" or "It's too hard" and whatnot. I didn't believe her and basically asked her to do me the favor of at least trying to learn the guitar, an instrument I was familiar with and could help her learn. She, reluctantly obliged.

Now, every other day or so, we get together in my room, she (much to my surprise) enthusiastically grabs my acoustic, me my electric, and the following occurs:

(Mind you, our lessons last alot longer than the video, but this is kind of how it goes. Hopefully, she'll let me video her first song once she learns it and I'll post it up here.)
