How to learn humility

Here's a tip for any budding guitar teachers out there. Never ...EVER, regardless of how relevant it is to what you are illustrating play the intro to Stevie Ray Vaughan's, "Scuttle Buttin'" in front of a student on a Tuesday late afternoon with less than 3 cups of coffee inside you. Especially when you haven't practiced it more than twice...and then don't even think about being so really impressed with yourself that it sounded vaguely similar, that without a seconds hesitation you put on iTunes and play them the real version. It's abit like doing 70mph on a clear motorway then entering yourself for the Monaco Grand prix. From beyond the grave SRV made me look like a bumbling slow witted fool and taught me a lesson about humility and being a muppet. Today's lesson has concluded.
