    My dad has just recently left my siblings and our mom. He was a musician and would practice Guitar all the time, and it would eco through our house. I loved it. Now our house is quiet. So I listen to this and pretend it’s him sitting in his office, peacefully strumming his guitar.
    Update:
    I dont know if anyone will see this. But i wanted to leave an update for all you lovely people who have wished me and my family the best. Its has been four years since my father has left. It was hard, our relationship was very rocky but I am happy to say that we have reconnected. And he will be playing at my wedding in April. Blessing can be found in the darkest times. And i wanted to thank all of you who took the time to leave your love.

    My father passed a few years back. At the time, it didn't hurt as much, maybe I ignored the pain or maybe I was trying to be a tough and edgy teenager. But I look back on it and even though there was a lot of rough, there are things I miss about him, especially when he would play his Guitar. Its been with me for the last few years gathering dust, but I've made the decision to learn it. For the memories.

    I love it when i’m sitting comfortably with my guitar on my thigh, eyes closed and just playing random stuff on my guitar. I usually let my hands carry me away through some world full of music. Sometimes i recognise a part of another song and sometimes it just doesn’t fit. Somehow at those moments i feel the most relaxed in my whole day. The sounds are somehow blurred but so clear to my ears. I love it.

    Here are some of what I believe to be the most beautiful songs in the world! Which songs would you choose?
    And before you comment, yes I know Where is my Mind is written by Pixies. But it's Maxence Cyrin's version that my arrangement is based on as that is particularly beautiful. The same with regards to Mad World which is written by Tears for Fears, but it's Gary Jules' version which I consider to be the most beautiful version of the song.

      I totally see where you’re coming from. But for me I feel like I’m giving up on singing. I have been so passionate about it but I just can’t seem to be happy with my voice. I’ve always had a weird relationship with my voice. Sometimes I Like it and sometimes I can’t stop hating it. But with guitar, I don’t say I’m bad it it. I say I’m excited to improve. I don’t want to give up though.

      Try humming or singing without words at first and just match the notes with the guitar..you'll hear when it goes together and you'll know that sounds good just by the mere fact it harmonizing with the guitar

    Listening to you play is inspiring me to pick it back up again towards fingerstyle... Pieces like this are a major reason I got into playing to begin with... In all of the compositions I've played or listened to over the years, it is the beauty of what speaks to the soul and moves it to that grateful stillness within is what makes it all worth it... To capture a moment timelessly as we cast across the universe for this moment in time... To realize the beauty of existence in the feeling of all that is good... Keep the fire alive.
    Beautiful playing :)
    It's time to get back to the roots...
