I agree with Jimi. While the guitar sounds fun, it can sometimes be a frustrating instrument. There was a time where I almost gave it up and there was a time where I took a long break from guitar playing but then my passion came back to it… it happened a long time ago.

If you wanna become a great guitar player, you gotta stick with it. Don’t give it up. With lots of practice, dedication and learning… you’ll get rewarded for it and practice will pay off. Trust me.

How will you get rewarded in your guitar playing when you do become good? Well, you’ll definitely get more respect from people. More musicians will wanna jam with you. You’ll also get bigger and better opportunities like a label signing or that sort.

I’m trying all I can to become great. I maybe decent now but still have a lot work to do. I’ll never give up guitar playing. It’s a passion of mine and it’s what I love to do. I’ve been playing guitar for at least 20 years now. I wanna play like all those virtuosos and making my way up there. It takes a long time to get good like that for sure. Doesn’t happen over night. Just don’t give it up and you’ll get there.

You know how when you talk to people in the real world… they seem all nice, positive and friendly to you? Then when you interact with them online, they turn out to be an asshole and a big drama queen. When you see things like that, it means that people are showing their true colors. Showing you who they really are. In my opinion, all it’s showing you that it shows you that they really aren’t happy people in life at all. That’s why some online always seem negative and dramatic to you most of the time. They’re showing you that they aren’t really friendly people at all even though they appear to be in person. I think you get my point.

People also get into a lot of drama and negativity online ’cause they enjoy it and they’re addicted to it. There’s negative people everywhere online. It’s crazy, ya know? You just have to ignore them the best you can. That’s why in the online world, they give you these block features and moderation opportunities so you can eliminate trolls and negative people.

Even to this day, I still get a lot of trolls, haters and losers trying to make me look bad online. I’ve dealt with this crap for many years but like always, I’ve gotten so used to it that I don’t care about trolls and haters anymore. They’re nothing to me. I can easily stay above them these days with no problem.

People can do all they can to write me nasty hate messages, bash me in social networking, start new blogs bashing me and make videos making fun of me but no matter what people do, none of that stuff is gonna bring me down ’cause I’m a pretty fucking tough dude. I’ll always stay above that stuff. I’ll always stay strong and stay happy as ever. When people do that shit, I’ll take stuff as a compliment anyways ’cause all it’s doing is inspiring me to speak even louder.

I don’t get into drama and negativity anymore like I used to. It’s just not my thing anymore and I have no idea why people get themselves into it. Avoiding drama is easy to do.

I’m human and I have feelings too… it’s kind of crazy how a lot of people can’t understand that. All I care about is enjoying life, being happy and being me. I don’t have time for drama and bullshit. Not my thing anymore.

I could probably learn cover songs on the guitar and sing songs that way, yes but honestly, I find it more fun singing with a full band backing track, ya know? It makes me feel like I’m singing with a real band when I know I’m not. I just want to try and test my vocal chops to see how I can do without playing an instrument. When it comes to my music, a lot of people usually compliment me on my guitar playing more than the singing. I want to show people I have what it takes to be an actual singer and frontman. It seems to be working ’cause people are starting to give positive feedback on my singing lately which feels pretty good. Just to show that I can be a decent singer. I plan to do acapella too.

I’ve been more focused on my singing lately than anything. Sometime in the future, I want to test out my singing even more like go out to an open jam at some bar somewhere and sing some cover tunes with an actual band. That would be fun.

I feel I’ve gotten okay as a singer and vocalist… still got a lot of work to do but I’m getting there, though.
