Hi there.

Hi there people.

My little story about guitar...

All start at 13 or 14? dont remember, my first teacher was a blind guy, who teached my some basic chords C, G, he teachme that basic things (though I really went far, I guess), also he give me my first guitar (old, used and a lot and curved). Also at school I was with a friend and both of us liked Metallica hehe, so he take me to a place where you can buy some tabs and we learned "nothing else matter" (IIRC, I guess was the first quassi complete song I learn except electric guitar solo), in school also we learned flute and learn a little notes in the "pentagram". Also some time latter a guy who was taking music classes on guitar I guess, teached me a little more (dont remember what hehe) perhaps some practicing of fingers like 1,2,3,4 and 1,3,2,4, and timming. Later I take classes at a public place for 1 to 4 months dont remember, the guy there give us a book the one you start with classic guitar that come with exersices and so on and I think I have advanced in the book near to the end I guess. All this was ala amateur I guess and passed from 13 or 14 to 16 year old, after that I left the guitar for as many as 10 years or so, in that time I only owned an acoustic guitar, with my friend of school I played a little an electric guitar and his grand father one time sayed me that the thing I was trying to do (haha ala improvisation) sounded like a song for a serie of detectives... now I think that was a fun observation haha.

Until this days I come back, one day the past year 8/9/08 (date/month/year), I bought in an action that was more impulsive and reactive after talk with a friend that I wanted an electric guitar for so long, we decided to go and buy one, he helped me choosing one guitar with the budged I have in that impulsive moment, finally I get an epiphone junior model .

Also the guy that I know from secondary school? didn't let playing guitar now he have a little group, and after talking to him about my new guitar, he invited me to play with them... tought Im really bad when performing, Im ashamed.


So, I will like to play a lot of things I mean, rock, metal, blues, jazz... but who know if I can? hehe, anyway, my music likeness range is broad... I only need that likes me. I don't have only one choice for music like when I was young only metal... ey! I even can dance some salsa :P. In the end, I will like to play what I want and feel.

Right now I'm trying to get in touch with "What breaks a heart" of Satriani, still there is much place to improve in timming, speed and execution, at less for the momment I guess I have memorized 80% of the song (the final parts still left), but I can't do this figure http://www.thefret.net/showthread.php?t=10327&page=3 haha, so I guess Im a beginner :P. And I will like to learns scales and so on, theory and do some improvisation, don't know.

Extra?

This is my first pickup that I use a lot and it start to break:




and


Nice isn't???, I never know before that they breaks this way...

This is a draw of my left hand@TheMonitor... I think is tiny... and I think my nails are somewhat rare I think perhaps when childhood to much cut of them?? dont know but my nails are extrange I guess... because some times when binding a string the string at top enter somewhat between the finger and the nail and make strange sound when realeasing the bind... haha.

(click photo for see my actual hand size, actually fits in 800x800)


Also because my hand is small, perhaps I can't do the referenced figure in the other post... lol.


By the way, Im from México capital city. And here is a shoot of my guitar



An extra note, I will also like to play violin, piano and a thing apparently called "kalimba", but I know none of them .
