My story

About a year ago i finally decided to pick a guitar, And like most teenagers I got an electric guitar.

The sweet riffs and melodies of rock and roll just wowed me. Well I started practicing many hours a day, almost became addicted in a way.

Sadly though my amp crapped out on me. I had no money for a new one, so I was pretty down. Then I told my father about my dilemma. He said maybe I should try the classical guitar and handed me this dusty guitar.

For a month and a half it just sat in my room. I continued to play my electric guitar. Then on one day, I don't know why but I started playing classical guitar I had received.

Instantly I loved the soft, nice, sound that it gave! I was very surprised. Soon enough I started listening to classical guitar pieces on the internet and I was amazed. I knew then the classical guitar was meant for me.

Well it's been 3 months now, and I really can't put it down at all! I haven't touched my electric guitar the whole time. I don't know why but finger style picking just came so naturally to me. Before reading anything on finger picking my hand already had proper hand positioning! I was using the right fingers with the right string, With out even knowing!

I can say I probably will be playing classical guitar for the rest of my life.

Peace.
