LESSON 1 - Sunday 4th November 2007
I showed interest in music at an early age, as my dad was and still is a cameraman and film maker. When I was still very young, I proudly acquired my first guitar which only had one string and couldn't be tuned with the records that I tried to play with. But it helped to birth my desire and love for playing which shows through in my music to this day.
It wasn't until 2 years later, that I started playing seriously. When I was in 8th grade, I found a classical music teacher who became an enormous inspiration, as she saw my talent, which helped to drive me to continue on my own to focus on learning rock guitar playing. By the time I was 17, through ordering books from the US and endless hours of practice and teaching myself, I did begin to improve. At this time, a friend persistently approached me to teach him to play. Initially I turned him down, thinking that I could not teach guitar. Hesitantly, I let him talk me into teaching him, which grew into my teaching others as I still teach guitar to this day. What I discovered was that by teaching, I improve myself. I had to be good enough not to teach poor playing methods to my students.
