As I pluck the strings of my guitar, something changes. My personal inspiration comes from day-to-day experiences, feelings and moods. It builds a gateway, in which, I am able to emancipate my own world of imagination and sensitivity. As I play amplifying versions of my songs, anger, fear, love and hate transform into electrifying energy that heightens the musical notes into another level. I have personally experienced such awe-inspiring emotions while playing with the band at distinct performances and each time it enthralls my senses. On the other hand, my emotions are released through unambiguous and meticulous performances that engulf the soul and mind. It is a musician's perfect concert.
I started a simple one
I learned how to play guitar several years ago. At first I struggled. Frustrations filled my head, but I kept practicing, watching videos and reading basic guitarist’s books. This way I learned how to hold a guitar, and how to strike its six strings. The process was not complicated, nor easy. I was persistent and kept on studying and practicing the basic process. Once these basics procedures have been applied, you will be well prepared to the next step.
When I was 12 years old, I express my self by playing guitar, not strumming but plucking it. I want to hear every melodic tone of the song and not the rhythmic part of it. I was not that good, The songs that I played before doesn't sound good enough to be heard by someone. But as I learned to feel every beat of the Music, Suddenly something change on how I play my guitar.

Try to close your eyes and Listen, Feel the beat and move your hands. That's the essence of playing guitar.
You won't be able to fend for oneself if you're just going to listen how the musician plays they instrument. Following the beat of the music enables you to enter the gate of the musician thoughts. Through Beat, you'll enter the melodic imagination of the musician. And it starts when your body starts to move as the music continues, I can say that you're in to it. Enthusiasm is everything. It must be taut and vibrating like a guitar.
STRINGS
Strings? A metallic or A nylon needle that makes the guitar filled with sound. Yes, at first It hurts you, but as you play it, you'll realize that without those pain, you won't be able to gain experiences and art in life. As a Guitarist, we believe that, If string is broken, change the string not the guitar. If the path is broken, change the path not your destiny. If you're thinking that playing guitar is an old art in music, you're definitely wrong. World keeps on changing, as music does.
What we choose to do with our time determines the lessons that inform our lives and values. It taught me a different subset of life lessons, and those lessons help define who I am today.
MUSIC WITH DANCE
As the music plays, beat comes, It is the start of the groove. And if the music is good, you dance. We can relate this in to Love, It is a lot like dancing, you just surrender to the music then move your body as you heart beats.
