Introducing My Guitar {Day 19: A Talent}
Honestly? A talent? I'm afraid to put anything on this post for fear of sounding conceited or supercilious.
Okay, okay. Fine.
Whether I'm talented at it, I don't know. But I do know that I love playing. I got my guitar in February of 2008, as a HUGE answer to prayer. (You can read that story here.) I only started pursuing guitar this past summer though, teaching myself, and now I am in love. There's just something about music that has the power to heal and bear witness to God's amazing love. That's what I love about it.
For the sake of sounding geeky, here's a list of guitar chords I know.
C, Csus, D, Dsus, Dm, E, Em, Fmaj7, G, G7, A, Am, Asus2, B, Bm
And my favorite songs to play...
Who I Am Hates Who I've Been - Relient K
You and Me - Lifehouse
Vanilla Twilight - Owl City
Hot Air Balloon - Owl City
The Right One - Stellar Kart
Take Me As I Am - FM Static
You Are More - Tenth Avenue North
My favorite chord progression is probably C, G, Am, and F (Fmaj7). There are a lot of songs that use that chord progression, and I think it sounds awesome. My favorite chords are G, Em, D, and Csus. Csus sounds amazing!

And you know how I named my bass Ben? Well, I can't think of a name for this guitar. Except for Grant. Still, it hasn't really stuck like Ben did. It does sound cute, though - Ben the bass, and Grant the guitar. They're both named after two of the favorite characters I've ever written - Grant Stokely from Chandler & Paislee (my NaNo novel), and Ben Carter from Reese's Pieces.
The sound of my fingers or my pick rubbing against the strings is probably one of my favorite sounds in the world. So is the sound of the chord reverberating as it fades away. I know, I know. I'm sentimental. ;)

Haha, I know right? How much can we actually say about the most insanely delicious food that Bacon is?! Of course... I must say that I am very hungry for Maple Bacon cupcakes right now.... Mmm.... So tasty.
ReplyDeleteYou read that entire post?! Cool points! Bacon! And Friedo the Donut!!! :P You get all of those. :) I'm totally bummed about the RP. I PMed Lady A just to make sure that it wouldn't be against the rules, but it is. So no RP about Supper the great and terrible in her Tower of Bread Dur. :(
You can play You Are More? So jealous... ;) I wish I could play the guitar. I guess I'll just stick to the piano. I've played for 7 years, why start something new now? ;)
Love & Hugs,
Lia
PS: Have some more bacon. It's so tasty. *feels like a Hobbit* :P
Guitar is the best:P
