I love the impact that music has on me. I could be in the worst mood ever and listen to one of my favorite bands and it will cheer me up. Some of it's the lyrics, others the guitar. Its mostly Rock music that does this for me.
I've been playing guitar for 8 years now. I'm nowhere near as good as I should be. I'm self taught. I can play bits and pieces of a bunch of songs on the electric guitar. Whole songs on the Acoustic Guitar. Part of my problem on the Electric Guitar is that I can't do solo's very well. I don't have the finger dexterity to do it. I don't practice often enough to work on it.
Playing guitar is very cool. It can also be the most frustrating thing I've done. I'm a bit of a perfectionist, so when I don't and/or can't get it right, it pisses me off and I quit playing for awhile. Like I said, I can't solo. Every time I try to, even to practice, I'm horrible at it. I after re-reading that, I guess I need to work on my patience also... I know I can do it, I just haven't worked up to that level of playing yet.
Every time I hear one of my favorite guitarists such as Jimmy Page, Slash, or Dimebag Darrel (RIP), it inspires me to play.
I've always wanted to play the drums ever since I was little. I've never played them before, but I think I'd be pretty good at it. Hearing drummers such as John Bonham (RIP) of Led Zeppelin makes me want to do it. Bonham has one of the most recognizable beats. I would know it was him within the first few beats.
Hopefully someday I will have access to a drumset so I can try it. ...and gain that title of "Multi-Inrumentalist".
Moral of all of this; Music is inspiring to me.
