Since childhood days we may begin to tap anything near us in order to go with the music we are hearing. I used to do that since my in elementary days, i just make a tapping sound on the surface of my desk and playing a beat in my mind. Maybe that's when musicality in me starts to grow.
I like to play the drums then since its my first love instrument. I dont know how to play the guitar those days when i was 10 years old. It happens only when my oldest brother, a church sacristan (church helper) in his teens. He used to borrow and bring home frequently the guitar from the parish convent he is serving and play with his friends. I just look at them by then. I see he frequently look at the book as he stops singing and strumming for a while. I certainly know its not the song lyrics he's staring at. I still don't know its the chord table he is looking at and I just wonder why he always look at that.
Whats Your Favorite Musical Instrument?
This thing in me goes as having first favorite and second favorite instrument.
First favorite, THE DRUMS.
I personally want to believe that if you have passion for something, naturally you have a talent in that.
I observed myself doing a more complicated beat in anything i tapped. I am able to produce a variety of sounds from anything in a combined or succesive fashion of beat But since our musicality somehow awakens us anytime of the day, i settle for another interesting instrument and its the guitar.
Second favorite: THE GUITAR
I realized then that my fondness in music doesn't stop in just getting the beat but to a more serious one- songwriting. So by this the guitar came to be as the one fitted to be with me. If i remember right i think i have written 22 songs in all. Most of them are songs of love and a few about songs of life.I exerted much effort in order to learn the guitar. I learned the harder way on a metal stringed guitar.
Some Things That Goes In Me...
I think musicians sometimes makes a library of emotions. It always has a song in that. Maybe it needs a musical instrument to upload that emotion and let the people browse that one item in your library. Nice to give it a try. Maybe an expression through the instrument will brought that out. A soul reflected out. then start. To have a soulful rendition, i think our souls need to practice that. Dare to try what instrument will best give you the most passionate and fondness with you can lived up to.Patience and discipline are needed to make this spirit in us flourish and become richer as time passes by.
