Me, my guitar and the rest

So if I haven't made it clear Im going to say that I LOVE music and without it I think life would be sooo booring. So let me tell about me and how I got the idea for grabbing a guitar and start learning.

 I were at sixth grade (I think so) when I first started to get interested in playing guitar. Our class was supposed to perform in spring festival at our school. We choosed one, which name I can't remember and started to practice it. First we were told how to play guitar and the chords in the song. They were pretty hard at the time and remember that we arranged that some of us play in example D-chords and some the E-chord, because it was hard to us to change them on the fly. I wasn't able to play all those chords back then but some of my friends were. I wanted to be able to practice the song at home too so I asked for my aunt if I could borrow a guitar from her work ( she worked as a youth leader or so back then). So I got an acoustic guitar for lend and I started to play it more and more. When I had my 14 year birthday card from her the card said: Happy birthday    Btw that guitar is yours now. I were like: NO WAY! THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!! But after a few months I kind of lost the will to play and I left the guitar to my closet.

Things got serious when my dad asked me if I'd wanted to go for guitar playing lessons. I were excited to finally go on lessons to learn from someone who really knows what he is doing. The teacher is a family friend so I knew him and the lessons were, and are even now at his home. At first he told me the basics of a guitar: the strings and the difference beetween them, the fretboard and how to pick the strings. He started to tell me about notes and teaching them to me and first I were a bit confused, but after some practice I learned them pretty well.

After a year of going on the lessons I finally had my dream come true. I got enough money to buy an electric guitar (not one of those cheap crappy ones) and a pretty good ampliflier. I started to learn my favorite songs from bands such like Metallica and Guns 'n Roses. At first they were hard and I thought that Im not going to learn them ever, but after very hard trying, fingers almost burning from too much playing I finally made my first step to the real thing. I learned to play Enter sandman by Metallica. That gave me so much hope for that I really could learn and become at least a good guitarist. After a half a year I decided to buy a better effect for my guitar. So bye bye money and welcome new effect with all those great sounds and effects. At the christmas I got ANOTHER effect pedal from my parents. It was a wah-pedal ( I know you don't understand it makes guitar sound like a human saying: waaau waaah) I have been waited for that one effect for like almost a year and finally I got it. So here I am still playing alot and going on the lessons, next big step is coming within two weeks when I'm going to an entrance test for Vaskivuori's upper secondary school for the music line. I'm kind of stressed because there are over 200 canditates and only 33 are chosen. That's all about everything that I can tell you about how music is controlling my life.

I'm not expecting that you read that all but hey that's my life :)
