Life, as portrade through the eyes of me

So, if you read my blog when it first came out, you will have read that I don’t have a passion. That is no longer true; I now do have a passion, a passion for playing guitar. I started playing guitar almost two years ago, but that guitar teacher taught me only one song in about six months. After winter vacation last year I got a new, awesome guitar teacher. He started off teaching me more than one song so that I didn’t get bored and that was great, because after playing La Bomba like 300 times it kind of get boring. Since starting with him I have learned at least ten songs at full speed and a few more, very slow, not a lot, but in the past few months I have improved a lot and will learn a song almost every class. The reason I have started to get into guitar is I have been inspired, by my uncles and Mark Wagner. My uncles, because they are really cool and can just basically pick up a guitar and play awesome classics. One of them is also amazingly talented and can listen to a song and play it after maybe two times of listening to it, I think he might be able to play Through Fire and Flames, but I’m not sure. That was the spark, wanting to be like them, especially the one, but Mark wagner was the fuel. He’s an amazing guitar player who has written so many songs and can play so many as well. He is also just an amazing person.

Right now I have a classical guitar and one of my dreams is to collect guitars and keep every one. I don’t think that my parents will by me another guitar, so I’m going to have to buy it. What I want is a steel string acoustic so that I can get a better feel for playing an electric guitar and so that I can play songs that are electric guitar songs, better. Another reason I want a new guitar is because steel string guitars are REALLY nice.
