Geez, no wonder people get into this stuff so much. I have been playing a lot more guitar than ever, since I got my new electric. It’s got a great sound for an affordable price. I’m going to spend more time improving my playing so I can start jamming with other musicians. Fuck Guitar Hero and fuck Rock Band. Playing the real electric guitar is what it’s truly all about. It makes me wish I played electric guitar a long time ago. I don’t plan to be no virtuoso or shredder, I’m not gonna be Joe Satriani or Steve Vai, I just want to improve as a rock guitarist. I also plan to play a little blues and maybe even study some jazz. I’ve always listened to blues and jazz music, those genres can help improve your playing and improvising skills. I don’t want to be stuck playing basic and simple stuff all the time, as I’m always learning and studying new things.

It’s been 15 years now since I’ve been playing guitar and I’ve played acoustic for most of those years. I feel it’s time to change. Play electric in hopes of forming my own band or maybe even join somebody else’s band. I’ll admit that I never had any full band experience and I think I’ll want to start getting some soon.

My goal in guitar playing is to get better and take it more seriously.
