Playing Guitar

I bet some people wonder why I love playing so much.

For me, it's the same reason as why I game, or why I was into Amateur photography, and why I am heavily into Computer Hardware, and why I am into Hobby grade R/C. It is a release.

In a life full of crap on a daily basis (dollops and dollops of it), it is one of the few things that I have absolute control over. What I play, how I play, when I play. It is very therapeutic (though Metal isn't). Real relaxing. Helps keep me chill and happy and it occupies my free time in a constructive way. It is also a form of venting I suppose. Also it's another thing I can pass on to future people too (One is always remembered with what they left behind right?).

Which is why I devote so much time to it. I love playing, I can't stop playing and I really want to get better at it. I push myself very hard (true in everything I commit myself to). But I have to remind myself, that I have only played it for just over 2 months now (effectively).

But I think I have come pretty far and will continue to do so. That is once this stupid injury fully heals up. It really doesn't help that I'm a klutz (caught my thumb on a hook yesterday behind my door.... tell me about it.... ).

Songs I know how to play (even partially - no solos yet though):
Megadeth - Symphony of Destruction (partially)
Coldplay - Yellow (partially - hard to get the sound right)
Coldplay - Sparks (partially - pretty hard)
Black Sabbath - Paranoid
Metallica - Enter Sandman
Nirvana - Come As You Are (partially)
Guns n Roses - Patience (part of the solo only - like the first few lmao).


Songs I wanna learn:
Killswitch Engage songs
Soundgarden songs
More Megadeth songs
Some blues.
