I most certainly remember being forced to play an old, foul-smelling clarinet in the fourth grade. I hated the sound of the clarinet, but it was the only instrument that wasn’t being used in the school band’s instrument closet. I begrudgingly learned to read music on a very rudimentary basis, and when I was able to do so, I gave up clarinet altogether. My dream had always been to learn guitar, but I got stuck being a mini Benny Goodman.

When I finally got the chance and was out of earshot of my parents, I bought an acoustic guitar at a used instrument store and started picking away at it.

My Guitar Experience

I had been playing guitar for quite some time, but had never really gotten around to learning much with it.

It wasn’t until I came across Jamorama that actually learned everything I needed Read the rest of this entry »

Rock concerts were the rage in the 80’s and they pushed innumerable kids to buy their very 1st guitars. Today, video games like Rockband2 are having a similar effect.

The essence of all classic rock music does not just lie with the lyrics; it also lies with the electric guitar and the various sounds that it can produce. There are so many kids across the block who would give anything to play like Mark Knopfler, Steve Vai, Angus Young etc. These men are not just some of the best guitarists of their times, they are legends.
