My Current Ambition

Is to pick up the guitar. I just bought one thanks to Chris for $126. I have no problems spending money on it, but I must say I fear that I would give up before I actually learned it, because it is no easy feat for me, one who is musically declined.

And it will probably take a few years to really master it. The reason why I even thought about learning guitar is the fact that I believe hard work brings results. It may take years or decades, but I will be a fool not to start now something that I love! I don't think there will be guitars in heaven, but there will be music for sure. And I think one is no fool to try his best to learn something that produces eternal, heavenly sounds.

I always envy those who can play the guitar well. I am a sucker for guitar riffs. I am a lover of rock music. But the most I can do is play air guitar.

And I look at myself. Perhaps I am only good at playing soccer. But it has taken like 15 years to get to where I am. I shudder at the thought of spending 15 years to master a guitar, but I guess, with perseverance one day I will.

Laugh at me and my slowness and my lack of musical talent if you want, but with hard work, I am on my way. 10 years, 20 years is no problem for me.

Right now I am psyching myself up to learn guitar by watching The Beatles tutorial on youtube.

Bloody hell, I want to learn all the Beatles songs before I die! If I can get to 1% of their musical talent in this life I shall die without regrets!

If not, I will ask God to give me a guitar in heaven and continue learning in eternity...
