    Man I just gotta ask, if you started playing guitar in 2018, are you attending university for music? You’ve come so far in such a short time! You’re either doing it for a career or it’s something you’re extremely passionate about (does seem like the latter), just never heard you elaborate on it, wondering if you ever would in a short or a short video?

      he's like 18, kids just have more free time and less responsibilities. He could practice from 3pm - 9pm every day, and not have to worry about anything...that being said, at least he did something productive with his time.
      I on the other hand, just watched porn and played video games at that age LOL. I'm jealous, but also he put in a lot of hard work.
