20 years of guitar playing

I realized today that I’ve been playing guitar for 20 years. That’s how long Nirvana’s Nevermind has been released.

I’ve known my Fender Strat longer than most folks in my life, except for my family and childhood friends. Heck, it is a childhood friend!

And you know what? This year, I finally hear some improvement! The study of music never ends. The 10,000 hours theory might as well be multiplied.

Honestly, musicians shouldn’t measure their playing in years, nor milestones or accomplishments. Playing music becomes an expression, a part of life. Always adapting, growing, changing. It’s provided a catalyst for me to see half of the country, and meet other  people who have embrace the journey, too.

The only measurement of music worth noticing is how wonderful it truly is.
