i am 15.....been playing for about a year...i am certainly not one of those amazing young kids....i love guitar so much though and i would certainly play it all day if i could....
i am pretty busy though...so i dont have a lot of time...but i still get in about an hour a day..and 3-4 hours a day on the weekends..and somedays just so long i cant even keep the time...
i take lessons....
to whoever said that young kids are rip offs....i understand what your saying to an extent...but crap like Blink 182 and SUm 41 is hardly what i play at all..that music is a joke...
a lot of people think the music i listen too (old staind, Dredg, Alice in Chains,) and stuff like that is a joke though...but i am in a start up band with a drummer and a bass player...we mainly just practice together for fun...there is something about just jamming with someone else that makes guitar a lot more funner...but we practice for fun..and dont rip off anything like that teeny bopper mainstream crap...just pure new metal...good well written music...and solo's and things like that...
one thing though...to all you amazing guitar players who are really good...if you can talk to me online through instant messanger someday..that would be great....cause i got a lot of questions on how to solo better and stuff..and everyone around here just asks for money for advice...so i wold really like to get advice from some of you guys...cause its intudivly obvious that probalby 96% of this board are better guitar players then me...
have a nice day
