I played acoustic guitar since I was... umm... old enough to pick on the strings of my mother's egg-slicer gizmo, hehe. My dad taught me. I didn't get interested in playing electric guitar until I was about 15. The sort of person I am, I can't just watch and listen on things, I have to try it out... :silly: so when I got into sorts of music more like metal, rock etc. I have to play, too... I have gap between ages 20 and 23 due to illness
now I play again, yay! :happy:
I had lessons on flute for 8 years and took the grades and theory, which was helpful for guitar even though I never read music for guitar! Also it was cool because I used to go in for competitions (by myself and as part of groups) which is really fun.
I also sung alto in 4-part choir for a few years and I had singing lessons for 2 years. This was great! :singer: but now I can't afford it any more... plus the volume... it's difficult with the neighbours because you can't turn it down of course
Oh, and I play piano as well, only I don't have a piano, only a keyboard... it's ok as keyboards go, but I'd much rather have a piano... but I'm only on number 3 out of my book of 85 classical pieces, so it'll be a long time before either the Albert Hall or Wembley... :blush:
eeeeeeee! I love music! :dance:
