Wow ...I played an Electric Guitar

Today one of the student bought a new GIVSON Electric Guitar. Its a maroon coloured one with black center design and it looked so beautiful. When the electrical connections were under progress and the boy (?) tried with few plugs , it sounded GREAT. With full consious mind this is my first time in my life i'm seeing an Electric Guitar under COMMISSIONING.
I was actually requesting my master to play with it, so that we can enjoy a LIVE electric sound with a definetly good player.But he didn't cared much and the boy once finished with all its connection activities, started to play few notes. He started with some song , probably a hindi song, as i was very much a beginner , i couldnt identify it. Eventhen it didnt follow any musical pattern. Later master asked him to play "Papa Kehte Hain.." . He tried it but as he couldn't recollect the notes immediately he again struggled to put the notes on strings.
I gave him my notes , still the flow didnt turnup and he stopped his tries and gave up saying
"Its so long ago i played those songs and i totally forgot it , may be u can try"
Master also encouraged me to give a try " Hmmm ... vaasichu parunga".
I couldnt beleive this . Suddenly i felt a small shiver on my fingers. Actually i loved to carry it in hand , just like posing for a photograph . But playing in it , i had my own doubts on my notes flow even on an ordinary Hollow / Pick guard guitar.
But i had also had my own attractions on it and unlike the guitar owner i had had only learned to play "Papa kehte hein " so far , hence notes were very much on my finger tips (Oh, now i understood , how this "finger tips" phrase came into practice) so i jus moved forward and started to play PKH.
Wow .....i just started it.... EE DCD ......the flow was very much perfect to my standards i was very much happy with that start ...come on, dilli keep going...GA CC FED .....WOW... what a sound it was , effortless but enormous output.
I jus kept my pace on with consistency and didnt miss any notes ...It was very much to my style as a beginner and to my own comparisons , i did a good job in completing the song.
" Enna, record panni YOUTUBE'la pottudalaama" said my master . Wow , What a complement, i was on my seventh heaven. Great Dilli ....did a good job. I patted myself.
"Sir , chance'a illa, super'a irukku .....naan kuda oru Electric guitar vaangidavaa" i said.
" Irunga , irunga avasara padathinga , innum flow set aagalai. 1-2 months aagatum , we'll see"
Hmmm.... okkkkkkkkk
But what an experience today it was.
It was totally a big surprise to me that i would play an Electric Guitar.
And added to that , I played it in a fairly good manner ( to my standards...!) on my first time itself.
