Begin A New Career : "A Guitarist"

A while ago, i did not know how to play any music instrument. As every human is growing up physically and mentally, i began to think about arts. A year ago, i tried to learn guitar. I don't have a guitar. What i did was, i borrowed my friend's guitar then i ask my friends who are able to play guitar to teach me and help me out playing guitar. The very beginning of my learning process, it was so hard! it was frustrating as well. I remembered a friend of mine, Bahtiar (one of my best friends) told and taught me that "to play guitar, is not a skill or talent that you need, but how you play it and who you play it for". It was a good moral lesson from Bahtiar. I applied it and I reveal the power of it. Eventually, i enjoy playing guitar eventhough not too often i played it. At Least i like it.

A year later, today, I am in the USA as an exchange student. I go to Wilson High School, Portland, Oregon. I am taking a beginning guitar class to be on of my classes. I still keep what Bahtiar told me. I have a great teacher to teach me, and great class mates as well that always bring an inspirational message to me.

My first guitar performance went really well and unexpected (read my previous article: "Mendadak Jadi Gitaris di Amerika"). My guitar teacher, Mr. Jolestead also said that i was awesome and my song that i brought made his day and he smiled all day long. i am so happy that day and began to do more and more.
And here are several pictures from my second guitar performance.enjoy! also i put some pictures of my classmates that were also performing today. thank you for reading this blog folks! :)
