I've had a problem with consistently being discouraged to challenge myself on guitar cause I always think everything is too hard. Today, I sat down, and I finally learned the Stairway to Heaven solo...and, honestly, for the first time in 7 years....I feel like a guitarist.
Let me tell you why, and it may be cheesy, lol
7 years ago, when I first starting playing guitar, my dad told me about Led Zeppelin and how it is his favorite band. Then he showed me Stairway to Heaven, and said he would be really proud if I learned it. It's been on my mind for 7 years, and I never "had the courage" to learn it. I thought it was too challenging etc...my dad left last year, and Í haven't seen him since June 07. The last conversation I had with him was how he respected me and my brother for sticking with music even though we taught ourselves....and that he really respects what we're doing.
Now after learning that solo....I've got this HUGE new energy for playing guitar...it feels as good as it did beginning...I haven't felt like this in ages, and I thought I just share this with everyone.
I know the whole story sounds really cliche and cheesy, even I think so....but it's true smile.gif
Cheers, guys....keep rockin'

(Even though stairway is played ALL the time, and has become really stale and cheesy....IT'S AN AWESOME SONG)
