My guitar learning experience
I started learning guitar at the age of 18 when I was in class 10. I bought a 'second-hand' guitar from a guy from my neighborhood, although my experience at the time of buying the guitar was not good at all as the seller guy agreed to sell the guitar only, not the guitar carrying bag and at that time I also promised him that I will carry the guitar inside the bag from his place to mine for then and after 1 day or 2, I will return him the bag. But, I didn't keep my promise. Then he started calling me for the bag and I keep ignoring him and the quarrel became huge. Thank god, he finally agreed on me to keep the bag.
Now, the guitar learning part. Where should I go to learn? Frankly speaking, I am a lazy type of guy. I love to stay at home rather than wandering around, storing some potential energy huh! So I decided to learn it from the Internet. But, as expected, I was not getting the pace I was looking for. Then I joined an 'Offline' guitar class nearby. So, the lazy boy started to go to learn music by covering the stairs of a four stored building which has no 'Lift' facility in it. Poor me! I
used to all covered with sweat after 'Climbing The Himalayas' and took rest for a while. Storing some potential energy again!
The reason why I chose to learn guitar is that I always believed that I have some music sense within me, though no folk of mine is or was connected to this profession and not the boy with whom I used to go to the guitar class. I just cannot describe how bad he was in music. The only benefit I got from him that after listening to his music, our teacher used to find my music a bit better.
I learn guitar for almost 3 years there, after which I couldn't continue my guitar classes as I went Haldia for my graduate studies. Although, I continued my guitar practice on my own for these couple of years. I am not a pro in guitar playing till now, but whatever I learned about guitar playing, that entire credit goes to those 3 years of guitar classes.
