Are You Ready?
I taught myself how to play the guitar from the age of 11 - the hard way - mainly by ear. There was simply no other way to learn back then. When I was 11, the internet still felt like a baby. But, soon people were uploading music notation/tablature, lessons on how to play the guitar,… Continue reading Are You Ready?
Your Job & Your Work
Having a job implies being told by someone higher up in the ladder to do something in a way that they want you to do it. You can also choose to do your "work". Your work is your art and it is what you feel most excited and enthused about. Your job is not your… Continue reading Your Job & Your Work
