10 things I like about guitar...

  1. The feeling you get when you strum the right chord.
  2. How simple finger maneuvers create beautiful sounds.
  3. The pride you get when you look at your callused fingers because it's all worth it.
  4. You develop the ability to LISTEN. You get a sense of beat and tempo, you learn to change chords with the beat and you get to recognise chords in songs.
  5. Your music repertoire will expand exponentially.
  6. You will always have a guitar as a friend who doesn't complain, whine or let you down.
  7. Guitar soothes you like nothing else could.
  8. You get to sing and play along to songs that you like.
  9. You learn that songs can be created, re-mixed and personalised. Nothing beats originality.
  10. The pain that comes with hours of practicing barre chords does not compare to the happiness you get when you can play your barre chords correctly.
I love my guitar kapok so much. You may be cheap and of no brand, but to me you can still compare to other Fenders/ Gibson/Martin etc etc just cause you sound so good even when you're out of tune. I still need to change your strings though, will do it when I get back. And even though I've banged you around so much, there ain't no dens or scratches on your body. Everyone around me seems to own at least a Fender acoustic, I'm still hanging on to this old no-brand guitar. So hang in there a little bit. We've still got so many years to go! (at least until I have enough money to buy a Hummingbird! dream on- you have to eat frozen peas for a year kot kalau nak beli Hummingbird)

okay guitar dearie, i dedicate this song to you!!!

  1. dulu saya menggunakan gitar akustik, tetapi setelah tukar ke gitar elektrik, kebolehan saya bermain gitar telah bertambah dengan banyaknya. kemudian pada tahun lepas, saya telah beli lagi satu gitar jenis short-scale dan kesannya, kebolehan saya bermain scale telah bercambah :D
    nampak sangat saya ini pemalas, nak yang mudah saja kan? :p

  3. short scale tu gitar yg neck dia pendek. macam gitar tu kontot la, tp takde la nmpk sgt kontot.

    utk gitar electric biasanya ada 25.5inci, 24.75inci & 24inci. ukuran itu adalah dari nut ke bridge. kalau pegi kedai boleh tanye org tu la camne rupa gitar2 berkenaan. :D
