Guitar

Why?
Why of all things did i want to learn guitar.
Well, since i was getting bored and i came to knew that my ,now, ex-boss is a great guitarist, so i said why not lets try guitaring as a hobby.
Already i was listening to Bryan Adams songs!!

So one fine day i shelled out Rs. 1700 and bought a Givson G-125 acoustic guitar from his friend.
That was when and how i started learnign guitar.

A friend of mine, Venkat Rakesh, then introduced me to music from groups like Iron Maiden, Metallica (i was / am in love with Nothing Else Matters, but he told me abt songs like One, Unforgiven) and lots and lots of other rock groups!!

Ok! So what now?
So after i left that job, i was stagnant as far as guitaring goes....i visited some sites like Fender Players and others, took some printouts..but that was all....no practice...
My G-125 was eating dust

This is where again Rakesh came in and said "Hey", I know one guy in Mulund who teaches me drums and has other guys coming to him for guitar.....So i said "Why not!!"

So now i am learning my basic guitar under guidance of Anand Menon.


How far have I came...?
Well, its been about 8 months since i have joined the class, i go there every Sunday and have flunked a couple of times (6-8 times to be exact)

Right now i am learning to do spiders, i.e. move my fingers up and down the track of frets!!!


Where to...?

From here i will be learning scales, and then some basic tunes of Hindi songs
Wish me luck...
