He,He,He (giggle of delight)

Last week when The Boy had pep band practice I decided to sit out in my van and practice guitar instead of listening to the practice (the sheer noise gets a bit overwhelming). What i was supposed to be practicing didn't hold my attention long at all and I got bored with what I was doing, so I texted D that i was bored with the chord progression i was doing and he texted me back "Am C D F Am C E". I said my F's sucked but for him I'd try.
It sounded like it might be something I'd heard before. I asked if when i could get the F on the first strum 75% of the time would he tell me what it was. And... I'm happy to report... i figured it out myself! :-) It's "House of the Rising Sun" which isn't usually strummed, it's fingerpicked, but I can work on that, it doesn't sound too bad strummed slowly with the pick either. So, for pictures sake, here's one of me with the acoustic I have access to at work.
