Since I was a kid

Many of my hobbies now mainly came from my childhood. My main hobby which is playing guitar started when I was 9 years old. Yes, I played my guitar everyday since then. Everyday after school I allot time for playing guitar. This allowed me to progress and play my guitar nicely. 

Youtube I guess is my only mentor in playing guitar. I never enrolled in music classes, I can say that I'm self taught. Some of the people that I watch on youtube are the great guitarists like Perfecto de Castro which was the former guitarist of Rivermaya and korean guitar kid Sungha Jung.

Being good at playing guitar has its perks, which is mainly to get girls HAHA. My guitar is my wingman for picking up girls. I used this on all of my past girlfriends. I make sure that my guitar does all that I don't even have to sing because I have no talent at that.

But playing guitar everyday for 10 years has it's own consequences. For example is my fingers in my left hand, it's filled with callus. Although it has perks because my fingers don't hurt when I'm playing but still it's callus, it looks bad. 

I really enjoy classical music, that's why I prefer that genre when playing my guitar. It soothes my soul and helps me relax. Some of my favorite pieces that I play is the "Canon in D" by the great Johann Pachelbel and "River flows in you" by Yiruma.

Sometimes I record my music and upload it to soundcloud.com, it serves as my personal album for my guitar. Some of my friends enjoyed it and even downloaded it. My version of canon is also posted there.
