Well its my second entry today. This is the first web blog I have ever done in my life. I hate the fact that I post my life up onto some site for everyone to look at. But you know what that means? I like this place. I feel like home. I'm probably going to be using this journal for a long time.
I just got a beautiful acoustic guitar today. I got into guitar about a year and a half ago. I decided to play classical guitar because it seemed different. I see everyone playing those easy chords, so I felt like standing from outside the crowd... however I got easily bored of the style and eventually I felt like quitting.
It was only about 2 months ago that my guitar teacher was away for 3 weeks. So I had to temporarily take lessons with some other dude. He was the coolest guy I have ever met. He taught outside what I had to be taught. He taught me the strumming guitar. I know I said it wasn't my style, but it was my style. I really enjoyed it, and quickly I felt like playing guitar again.
Unfortunately, the three weeks ended; I was stuck with my old teacher again. But I really didn't want to go back to him, I wanted this awesome teacher instead. So I transfered from Mr. Boring to Mr. Cool. Sadly, my teacher said he was quitting... quitting in 2 weeks, right when I was starting to enjoy guitar again.
However, he said that he would be offering private lessons, which meant better deals, better hours, and better teaching. He said he could get sued by the head master of the music teaching company for this, so I had to keep quiet. I quit guitar claiming to the head that "I gotta focus on school". What a freakin' lie.
After winter break was over, I had my first day of private guitar lessons (which was only about half a week ago). It was awesome! He's teaching me how to play Californication by Red Hot Chili Peppers. He also let me borrow a RHCP DVD which presented an awesome concert at Slane Castle.
Now I'm practicing, and I'm really loving it. Guitar is my thing. I love it.
