The most interesting hobby that I have is playing guitar. I have played guitar for three and a half years now and I am getting better at it. My very first guitar was given to me by my mother for my seventeenth birthday. My uncle is the one who taught me how to play it. He is a very good player and I admire him very much.
Playing guitar keeps me doing something interesting at home instead of staring at the ceiling all the time. Actually it is a very relaxing activity. It gives person some time to think and dream. When worn-out by the stress of life, frustration in school, or disagreement with family, it’s always the best remedy. My hands are on it, my fingers shift naturally on different frets. In that very moment, listening to the harmony of six strings and humming the tunes in my mind, my mind sifted through all the complication of life. Music helps me regain my strength and reset myself, forget all the negative emotion.
I have two guitars now – one is black acoustic one and the second is a yellow Spanish guitar. When it hangs on my wall it seems like a piece of art.
I can play many different songs after 3 years of experience. My favourite songs are Led Zeppelin’s Stairway to Heaven and Leonard Cohen’s Hallelujah.
Music to me is one of the most incredible things in life. Guitar will always be my favorite instrument to play though. In the future I want to improve my guitar playing skills and maybe use them in some small band. I would certainly recommend learning guitar. If interest in it comes, it cannot be put away.
