Video Transcription

So one day I was in a lesson with Mr. DeLay and I was playing something but I just could not play this passage right. I mean I kept messing it up all the time.

I mean I never got that frustrated in a lesson or at least I hadn't up until then. I even at one point stomped my foot up on the ground because I was so just that I couldn't do it. Mr. Lay though through all of my ranting was sitting passively on her couch and finally I looked at her and I said I don't understand Mr. Lay. I can do this at home but I just don't know why can't I do it here and Mr. Lay calmly looked at me she said no Billy if you can't do it here you didn't do it at home.
