The story of how I became a guitarist

Okey... Here we go... *Takes a long breath*
...One day I picked up a guitar and try to play some chords out of a book to learn guitar. I had nothing to do and practiced that day to learn those three chords, A, D and E. Since then I'm hooked.  Someone had a guitar lying in the attic rotting away so they gave it to me, "at least it's being used now... you are going to play on it a lot don't you? otherwise we just leave it there" They said, and yes it was being used. Almost everyday I played on it just for fun and to relax between the busy days.

I never thought I would be playing guitar when I was young. Looked far too difficult. I can now safely say it is hard, if you want to become really good. Not my goal though, it's just to have some fun 

The last half year I started to make some more serious progress and took guitar lessons for three months. Learned the magic of improvisation and soloing, and that is what made me interested about electric guitars. There was someone who knew a very nice second handed guitar shop, so I took a look on their site, where I saw the Blade Stratocaster. I went back there to take a look and most importantly: take a listen. Damn what a great clean sound there came from! I was hooked right away. I buy it for my own on my birthday, in the end of November.

I really like the whole new effects and techniques you can learn on the electric! I'm still enjoying that aspect of it. And well, that's my story about me and playing guitar! Man, that was a long piece of crap to type, now go and listen to my songs!

"Have a nice day"
Ralph.
