Awesome and funny video Now, why I play guitar...hmmm...I have many reasons. The first one and the most important for me is because the sound of electric guitar gives me an amazing mood. I can't describe in words but in the moment when I hear a “crying guitar” playing I don't care if I will die tomorrow, I live that moment at maximum. Other reasons: - I grew up listening to my father playing at guitar. I always fall asleep on his guitar sounds. After he died, I missed this thing very much. - I wanted to learn the second instrument but in the same way like the first one, not just for a hobby level. Damn...it’s a long way until then - 2 years and 5 months ago before to buy my guitar I became obsessed by Andy Timmons style of playing. Was that moment when learning to play at guitar became a must for me. Every day I start to have the same wish: to learn how to transmit emotions with my playing and my music. - guitar makes me very, very, very happy You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick.

Be sure to cherish it! We might not always realise it, as GMC is all about guitar - but just having a healthy activity which makes us happy is a rare luxury. So if you have the same problem as me - where getting time do the things you love is your biggest problem. Then you are damn lucky! =) You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick.

My fahter had a bike when I was a child. I believed he will give it to me one day. But...he sold it and bought guitar. I thought "Damn it" (or whatever a child at age 8 can say to replace it )...so next year I simply went to the music school My father was clever (I have figured it out years later ). He gave me to a piano lessons instead of guitar. I've hardy made it to finish 1 year od education. I wanted to pass. Somehow he made stay there and proposed a change of instrument. I was a love from the first sight that last 20 years now You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick. Plus all our lessons are packed with free content!

QUOTE (klasaine @ Dec 19 2014, 01:33 AM) That's why I decided to 'get good' when I was about 13 or 14 - seriously. It's funny but I never did this, in spite of my videos joking about it (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hciqch3s9ag). I have probably always been a little shy about my playing, and I never really liked to play in front people... I mostly play for myself, like it's a private thing. And yes I do see there is a 'slight' contradiction when I upload videos in public of my playing! QUOTE (Osedmen @ Dec 19 2014, 03:12 AM) cool! i play the guitar to forget problems Guitar playing is therapy for sure. I find it can not only make you stop thinking about problems, but it can also trigger your mind to think of solutions (subconsciously). I guess no matter how you look at it, this activity which we're so heavily involved with - is good for you! You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick.
