Location: Steeler Nation, Hudson Valley Contingent | I'm not a trained musician, but people ask me to sing and play. Guess I do something well enough. I can't read music either, but if you give me the chords and a tempo, I'll pick it up fairly quickly. But oddly enough, a truthful answer that would only come from me doesn't involve singing or guitars.
I've always liked to write, and that includes music. I put great effort into devising lyrics that can be read aloud almost as easily as they can be sung. I've discovered if it sounds good with the spoken word only, there's a better than average chance they'll hold their own lyrically as well. (Hope that makes sense.) |

| I made my first few dollars (very few -- $3! :) )Saturday at a music jam at a farmer's market. I must be doing something right, as I wasn't expecting to get anything! ;) .
Actually, the $3.00 means alot as I have been in one of those "I want to chuck it all in" moods regarding my guitar playing. This little sign gives me some encouragement at least.

Location: Regensburg BY, Germany | Great about me? My modest but anyway great choice of three (soon to be four or five) Ovation/Adamas models that makes me sound (and especially look) way better than I would without them. To quote OMA:

Location: Corpus Christi, TX | I spend hours and hours watching lesson videos and playing the guitar in my mind. I can really hit them licks and make the guitar sing and even cry sometimes.
Then, like my golf game I pick up the instrument and my dream is shattered.
Play on or as in my case hack on, it is better than the alternative.
Edit: - There's a song in there somewhere Title = Playing Guitar in my Mind |
