Remember to break down before Jesus Christ and ask for forgiveness too. Please, it’s really important that you do these things as soon as possible. The Bible is truth;
      Jesus Christ is Lord

    So many things we can learn from this:
    Paul is an absolute beast playing guitar.
    Paul talent has no limits.
    ALL YOU NEED IN LIFE IS A STRAT, YOU CAN USE IT TO PLAY EVERYTHING.
