What Learning Guitar Is About

So you would like to play guitar, and maybe have even been trying to learn already. Playing guitar is great, and fun to say the least... however here are a few things you should know about learning to play that are really important to know and consider before you start.

First, let me tell you something about myself and my playing of the guitar.

I began playing a uke at about age two, and then at age five my grandfather... who played guitar and trumpet, and also had his own orchestra, gave me a real guitar of my own. However my first introduction to the guitar came much earlier than age two... because my mother was also a guitar player and was playing and singing all the nine months preceding my birth. Experts in the medical field have told me that most likely when I entered the world I already was aware of the unique sound of the instrument. And was probably wondering what that sound was that I had been hearing for all those nine months.

So, I became a Guitarist: And have never done anything other than study and play guitar for my entire life since... and then, only naturally, started giving others lessons so they could also enjoy the guitar and all that the pleasures of music offers us. So the beat goes on and the tradition continues, and I still keep playing as well as teaching the unique and special techniques of the guitar so others can learn easier... without the handicaps and setbacks of incorrect playing.

The Natural Heritage Of Music... The Family Of Your Culture...

We all enter this world complete, with a brain... The Processor and Operating System, and also with a Natural Heritage of Our Culture of Origin... The Programming for that system. From the beginning everything is in place all ready to be used. All we have do is unpack the box and start using the equipment inside, that is... inside us. With this, let it be said... as with any equipment, we have to not be in the box itself, but just like using a new computer... outside looking in. Letting any piece of equipment to remain in the box makes it unusable... and nothing changes... things do not grow... and we access nothing from the wealth of information and applications that we have available. Things remain at status quo... still, un-moving, in a state close to that of death itself, No Movement, the basic indicator of the non-existence of life, as that of a piece of stone.

We were not born to be a solidified mass of nothingness, with no objectives or purpose in this thing we call life. We were all put on this planet to be part of the planet's own life energy field; and interact with all things around us in creative ways which allow for survival. We are to be using Our Natural Bio-Computer, The Brain, to help the world and all that is a part of who we are keep moving forward in the endless Procession Of Creativity Unfolding for the betterment of the whole including all mankind.

This is our reason for "being"... that's why we are Human "Beings". As I have previously said "We Are The Creators... We Are Man". However, are we really alive... acting in the responsible way that we were put here for, or are we just standing there "still"... not much different than that image of death itself... caught in the Death Trap of non-purpose without any direction. Trapped in the conformity of those who are our jail keepers, our slave masters?

The answer is NO. We ascribe to and follow these almost dead "call them zombies... perhaps" beings that make us believe this is the way it is to be. But, we are not actually enslaved or trapped, we hold the keys to our imprisonment... all we must do is unlock the cell of illusion that others have made us believe that this is all there is. Once again, "We Are The Creators... We Are Man": And we have all the equipment and natural resources within us to free ourselves from the "Daymare" of waking life and move into the World Of Our Own Reality... and Live Our Dreams. Life is not that, that we are being told it is... Life Is Freedom and Continuous Movement. We must create the world we want to live in and the life we want to be ours.

Life is like a river, or a natural spring... it is meant to be flowing... not dammed up, or diverted in it's course. And, as we so often seen... water so diverted or blocked frequently causes devastating changes to an environment, turning what was once a green pasture into a desert... making life no longer the same, or maybe even totally non-existent... or... Dead.
