Guitar

I have always been in love with the sound of guitar strings resonnating to the deft fingering of musicians. Although sometimes they do hurt my ears, I cannot find something else as pure and simple, yet expressive at the same time. That is why I'm a sucker for piano and guitar music, particularly guitar, which is so down-to-earth yet divine.

That is why I picked up guitar. So that I am able to listen to such sweet tones whenever I call for them. It is a tedious journey as I am not cut out for music. But the strings calm my nerves and gave me a third voice. Guitar music is like your best friend for all occasions. When you are happy, it exaggerates the exhilaration. When you sad, it listens to your sorrows. It is your memories immortalized. Throw in the extra brownie, it lets you croon your love to her dreams.

I took on the beginner’s way of learning guitar, which is through tabs. Tabs are like the guitar itself, all you need is to follow the drawings which represent which fret to hold on to when you pluck the string. Pretty easy. After you memorized the song, it’s a great accomplishment to finish a piece of music with perfection. If you push yourself a little bit more, soon you are dancing with your strings as your voice and fingers merge into one. That is one great satisfaction in life. :)

The tabs I am posting hopes to share this little joy of mine with you. Do look out for more.
