i think MajinMojo said it best. i play the guitar for aroun 2-3hours a night and i love it. whatever i am doing i have a guitar next to me. i have ofter asked myself "where would i be now without my guitar". as i am 15 i could be doing anything right now but no. in my opinion the guitar is a great saviour to me as it has also helped in my school-work and the ability to xpres myself. the money isn't bad too....
