It's hot outside...37 degrees on the sun...i'm holding my guitar and play'n one of 20 songs that I know...for 1000 jubilee time...i can't stand it anymore...typin www.guitarmasterclass.com in adress bar and here I am.
That would be "cut to the chace" story why I registered today.
Hello to you all, my name is Slaven, 29 year old from Croatia, playin at my home for myself.
I always loved that apothegm which say"" I told my parents that when I grew up I wanted to be a musician.They said it had to be one or the other".
Well, I today decide that I'll be child for 3 more months...69$ poorer child but hell with the money.
Playin guitar for almost 10 years now but what a rubish playin it was...learning songs but never really understanded whats behind it. My music theory was horribly..to be honest still is actually.
Pentatonic scale was/ is something from Star wars for me, what notes makes G chords is million dolar question and if I had to find "E" note on 3 string I probably have to take GPS with me.
Can play "Sweet child of mine", "Johnny be good", Chet Atkins "Starry starry night" fingerstyle version, some Metallica riff's but if you want some improvisation or some my own melody over backingtrack...well sorry guys to disappoint you but I don't know that.
Till now! I'm here to learn all this! Yeah baby!
Hope to find that little push over the edge which will help me to expand my poor knowledge, find now inspiration for guitar playin cause "Nothing else matters" is fun to play 1-2 year...10 year is longish period for that "pam pam pam pam pam pam" intro.
My gear: I have Blade RH2 electric, Marshall 8040 Valvestate amp and Washburn D34S Augusta acoustic.
Very happy with it except that amp maybe but like I always say: "Whenever I think about how I could spent some money on better amp because I deserve better I plug in guitar and play for 1 minute...that thought disappear instantly."
Also, I always listen all kind of music ( Rock, metal, pop, country, acoustic instrumentals, classic music ).
Why wouldn't I learn how to play it? If not all, as much as I can.
If i must isolate one guitar player that I admire the most that would be Mark Knopfler...He can play honky tonk just like anything.
Great musician.
Well I hope this is not to long introduction, you now know me better than half of my neighbors.
I'm going on 3 month pissing blood drill, hope i'll surive, find the holly grail and pay for more of it.
Cheers to all.
