I've always wanted to play the guitar.I mean, it would be weird if someone who's into the rock genre to say that he or she doesn't want to play guitar.
I've always been the odd one in my family.I liked rock song since I guess when when dad introduced me to The Police when I was a kid.By the time I was 7, I was bopping my head to Nirvana's Smells Like Teen Spirit and Metallica's Enter Sandman. Over the years, my fave or interest in rock genre shifted from hard-metal-to grunge-to-nu-metal before I finally found my real identity: Those stuffs by Radiohead, Coldplay, Queens of the Stone Age, Incubus when I was in upper secondary.
Nevertheless, I can't play a single instrument of this genre and it has been my fantasy since I was 8 years old to play a guitar: electric guitar in particular.The closest that I'd get to this instrument of mine back then, is whenever I am in the shower or in front of the mirror...playing 'air guitar'.I've always had a great deal of respect or awe for anyone who is damn bloody good at playing guitar.
I wanted to do the 'leg kicking' like AC/DC.
Or burn and smash my guitar like Hendrix did.
I can't simply because I can't play the bloody thing.
I tried to make my mum send me to those fancy 'Yamaha' guitar class(just like Hannah did) because I want to play guitar.At this age, I had given up because I'm too old to learn how to play guitar, I think.I don't want to start with the acoustic one, just give me the electric ones!!(and bass too).
Somehow, my perception towards that changed yesterday. Just like that song by Radiohead-Anyone can play guitar.I did and I love it.Even though I was struggling adjusting my fingers with strumming and watching the screen, I managed to score as high as 99%.I am playing songs by Kiss, Pat Benatar and also Coldplay! I can play Yellow and Violet Hill (still struggling with God Put a Smile...).I even had 'guitar battle' with Tom Morello! The 'Tom Morello, y'all!
Yes, I played Guitar Hero 3 and I'm addicted to it.
My childhood fantasy does come true, even though it just happen in the living room with Guitar Hero, only.
