achieving personal nirvana

The past few days, I've pulled out my old acoustic guitar. Now, I know several chords, but it's a far cry from my strongest instrument. I still have trouble moving between chords with facility.

I realized a bit ago that the E minor to G major transition is very, very easy to make. So I repeated it over and over again.

And it sounded familiar.

Yes indeed, that's the bulk of the Nirvana song About A Girl. Two chords, strummed in a fairly simple rhythm... with a few more chords stuck in there for the chorus that, frankly, aren't that much harder.

Which makes me realize how close I could indeed be to fame on one of my weakest instruments.
