while listening to Lincoln Brewster

and thinking about the marvelous sounds he can make on his guitar. I wonder how long guitarists practise to get to this stage. I wonder how much of it is talent and how much is giftings which became more pronounced after they started serving God with the guitar.

I regret that I have not maintaining this blog with insights from my guitar lessons. I don't usually spend the weekends blogging. I think taking guitar lessons is one of the best investment I have made ever.

Well, the update is that I am getting myself familiarise with the string instruments so I can be more versatile. I got frustrated once when there were 2 acoustic guitar players and no electric guitar player. I did not have the confidence to play the electric guitar because I have not tried it before. Now, with the exception of the week when I play the acoustic guitar, I have started to learn how to play the electric guitar for about 2 months now. I hope to be able to learn enough to fill in if there's a need to. But I think the instrument I prolly want to specialise in and play very well would be the bass guitar.

The learning curve is as usual exponential. He crams 90% of the lesson with 100% new knowledge and I end up remembering 50% of what he taught and practise about 30% of that. The good thing is that he repeats what he has taught the week before.

I hope to be able to give as much to the kids I give tuition to like how much he has been giving me in that 45 minutes of lesson.

His first question everytime before we start lesson: How can I help you today?
