Can't believe it's not butter. I've been playing guitar now for about seven years. I didn't bother leaning other people's songs because I was so concerned about expressing my emotion and getting out of the rut i was in. I remember when I was in between HS and college (about 1.5 years) I was writing like seven to ten songs a week. Most of them were lost i a comp. crash. As time grew and college took most of my time, music and other aspirations were placed on the back burner and studies became my first importance. Now i helping children though music with problems that are much more advanced then mine were . It's Called Music Therapy and I'm loving it. I don't just play for them, I create with them. We write songs and record them. They get a copy of the music. It makes a big difference.
