What was the initial spark that made you do it ? Any particular reason ? You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick. Plus all our lessons are packed with free content!

My neighbor played drums alot and 1 day my parents asked if i wanted to go and see his drums. I said no ( being a shy kid ) My parents didn't see this as being shy they saw it as showing no interest in drums so instead they bought me a fender strat pack really at this time it was sorta forced upon me (they wanted me to take up piano years earlier but i didn't) so i started playing guitar for a while.. then i stopped and just a couple of years ago i picked it up again You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick.

Feb 20 2008, 10:31 AM	Learning Tone Seeker Posts: 571 Joined: 12-September 07 From: The Netherlands	For me there is a very long story behind it, first off all i growed up with Music, my dad plays a string instrument, when i was little i had a little synthesizer where i played on, but then i didnt do anything with music for a long time, and then when i was on school i had a friend that invited me to beatboxing and hiphop breakdancing etc, so my music life has begon, practicing for beatboxing and breakdancing .. without any lessons i was very good at it, i gigged i went to battle's, but that time wasnt for long i think 2/3 years ? and then one day i was chilling with some friends and we went to buy some weed and smoke, that day was a very bad day for me, i had an overdosis of weed, so i had a blackout, my heart was bumping like there was a little stone in it, and it hurted so bad, i was scared and thought i had a heartattack, well i needed weeks and weeks to come over again, everytime i had nightmares and couldnt sleep, stopped with sporting, and so my school went bad.. at that time my mom bought a guitar for my little brother his birthday, it was a very cheap classic guitar thing, but my little brother didnt play the guitar so i was constantly in my room, one day i pickup the guitar ( my guitar life was begon LOL ) and just played something... just something.. everything that wont remind me to the situation that i had about that blackout, and i was relaxed, i really became very relaxed just because i was so busy with playing ( nothing ), then oneday a friend of mine sended a video of Steve Vai ( Tender Surrender ) and from that day i said .. wow O.O i want an electric guitar and want to play like that, and in 1 week i had my first electric guitar, and from that day to now, im very proud for what ive learned all the 3,5 years now and i still want to go further and learn with GMC and im so happy to be here Well this was a shorted story why i begon playing, because its make me feel relaxing Ekrem You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick.

Feb 20 2008, 11:20 AM	GMC:er Posts: 795 Joined: 28-August 07 From: Lappeenranta, Finland	Well, let's see... I honestly never ever listened to any music before I was like on 9th grade in comprehensive school.... It started with Finnish radio-pop, but after a little while I grew a little tired of it and began to search for something different. Then I was watching the Simpsons... The episode where Bart and Lisa get stranded with their whole classes on a field trip... Their on the school bus on a bridge, Milhouses grapefruit gets stuck under the brake pedal and squirts some juice on Otto's eyes... So they accidentally(ofcourse) drive off the bridge... Otto says "Don't worry little dudes, I'll swim for help!" then Otto get's taken by the current and yells out loud "ZEPPELIN RULEEEEEEEEEEEEESSSS!!!". I thank to myself: "Does it really?" , went to youtube, watched some Zeppelin vids and oh god how it did... The interest had began... Later I heard my little brother play enter sandman intro on acoustic(For some reason back then I thought it would be really hard) and thank to myself "If it's not that hard, maybe even I, just an ordinary kid from Finland, a kid who had no talent in anything, a kid who hated everything in his life, a kid with a beatles style hair, a kid with the worst acne ever, a kid with the fattest fingers around, a kid with no interest in anything, could give it a go!" And it changed my life man! it changed it forever!... I love you guys You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick. Plus all our lessons are packed with free content!
