I am currently learning to play guitar. My buddy in my dorm hall is great at it and he is teaching me how to play. It is interesting how with guitar, the practice is some much different. For pottery, it was about finding a style that was appropriate for you and allowed you to master the techniques but was still very different from person to person. However, in learning to play guitar, the technique is basically the same for all people. The chords remain the same unlike learning to center, is very different. The thing that I noticed about both is that they require great rhythm. For guitar it is a bit more obvious because it is music but pottery also has a very high degree of rhythm. You can't rush or slow down either one of them.
I love music. It as well as art is a portal to another dimension where I am able to ignore the current world and surroundings and be consumed in the music and the lyrics of the song. The song that I currently trying to play is "Hallelujah" by Jeff Buckley. I hope that I will be able to play it by the end of this week. I know that chords and the lyrics but getting the rhythm correct is the hard part.
The thing that I love about being able to play music is that you can get lost in the music of a good song. I play the piano and accompany myself through that. I was thoroughly disappointed that in leaving college, I would be leaving behind my piano. However, I have discovered numerous pianos in the classrooms. I have been using those singing my heart out while playing. It is such an exhilarating feeling. I had wished that I had sung in high school or in some sort of choir but I was very apprehensive of my ability to sing. But I will be singing more now.
