Guitar & Drums
I've been playing guitar most of my life "in my bedroom" until
I met my drummer man with whom I formed a band,
wrote songs, recorded them, created music
videos and played live. I'm essentially a rhythm guitarist
and in this capacity, I can teach any beginners what they need to know
to accompany themselves or play rhythm in a band. I am self-taught and
the theory I know has been discovered "doing it".

We
also record singers though a program called ROCKSTAR.
If you ever wanted to record your favourite song but never had the chance,
this is your opportunity. It's also a very good learning tool.
A
word about musicianship.
If you wonder what kind of musician you would like to become, ponder
on this for a minute. Compare using a computer to playing an instrument.
Are you happy with using the internet, writting emails and using a word
processing or do you want to retouch pictures, edit videos, managing
database, designing websites or would you like to troubleshoot software
problems, installing operating systems, or won't you be satisfied until
you can build a computer hardware from scratch.
You
can see where I'm getting at. You can play an instrument at any of these
comparable levels. It takes time and dedication to get to the higher
levels but everyone has to start from knowing nothing and slowly build
up.
Then
you'll have to strike a balance between spontaneity and creativity versus
theory and formal training. Too much of one often means not enough of
the other.
I believe that musicians should strive to get that balance right. Please
read this too.
