You Are Welcome To Introduction To Guitar by Lawrence24(m): 8:49am On Mar 12, 2016
You need to buy a guitar, you may be asking or thinking which guitar should I go for? You could go for the acoustic guitar or the electric guitar, when making your choice of guitar think of who influenced and inspired you, Then go for that one because, that will always want to make you play, could be Sunny Ade, Guitar boy-Victor , Last B.B. King, George Benson ,Earl Klugh etc.


However, The acoustic guitar could be better for you because you can take it out of the case and you can start playing right away, but going for the electric guitar you will need power, a combo or amplifier and a cable . But some companies have affordable once, impotently, choose the instrument that will always want to make you practice.

That dream of wanting to play the guitar can be turn into reality, someone around you needs that dream to go to the next level, if you can just see it in your mind you can get there, as you see yourself so you are, each of us has a talent, a gift, our own bit of genius just waiting to be tapped. It might be a talent for art or music. It might be a special way of relating to the ones you love. I choose to believe that our Creator doesn’t
play favorites, that we’ve all been created unique, but with equal opportunities for experiencing life to
the fullest. I decided many years ago that the most important way I could spend my life would be to
invest it in something that would outlast it, that is music.

See you next time

Thank you.
