Guitar Playing Has A Huge Impact On Your Social Life

Did you ever hear about someone who wants to "Be a rock star so he can pick up all the chicks"? That's sometimes the reason for someone to pick up a guitar and start playing. Then there's Iron Maiden guitarist Dave Murray who admitted that he started playing because he liked to look at himself in the mirror while playing. And there are of course people that just want to play songs that their favorite bands are playing, so they're trying to become more like them.

Most often people pick up the guitar in their teens. That's where the real social of life individual begins. A need to be cool, be accepted by society. I can't really tell what is the fact that makes people who are not playing any instrument to go "WOW" on those who do, but it happens all the time. I remember well the first time I played my first song in front of audience of ten or so. It was a regular day at the beach, the guitar was lying down so I picked it up and played. The minute I started playing everybody turned my way and listened amazed.

"That was great man!"
"How long did it take to learn that!?!"
"Wow, I didn't know you could play that well!"

My guitar playing was far from good, and yet I received an instant local rock star status!

That kind of attention motivated me to practice even more, so I formed a band, learned to play some songs, made some of or own. Do you know what happened after our first gig? You guessed it right! I, as a band leader, was almost worshiped by girls, and my mates were becoming envious of course.

That being said, you have a lots of great reasons to start playing guitar if you are a teenager.

What can you expect to become of you after a couple of years?

1. You will continue to play at parties, be a regular party entertainer at your college parties and not much more.

2. You will become serious about your guitar playing and try to make it as a rock star. You will probably never go to college and instead wash dishes for living while waiting to sign a record label contract.

3. You will be playing for the rest of your life for fun. You will use music to express your positive or negative emotions, you'll use it as a best psychotherapy there is! :)

If you love music, start playing today, music will be the greatest companion in your life.
