I don’t know about you all, but when I get a hankering to do something I either think about it so much that I burn myself out on it before I even start, OR, I pick it up and immerse myself in it.
So, my buddy KrazyMax and I dig Flamenco style guitar (also referred to as Spanish style). I’ve enjoyed it for a number of years and about 3 weeks ago I started obsessing over learning how to play. Max has been playing off and on for years, but has never been able to find a teacher that was well versed in this style. I was looking around one day at classical guitars and the store owner was asking what I was looking for. He seemed a bit surprised that I was specifically looking in this direction so I asked why. He said that most people that came in that were beginners were just looking to play guitar, nothing in particular. Anyway, he had the hookup (thus his real interest
). One of his teachers is well versed in this style and sure enough I started last week. So did Max.
I can’t get enough now. I’ll sit to practice for 30 min, and before I know it 2+ hours have gone by. From this I’m also seeing that I’m becoming more aware of my emotions. This is what I’m attributing this interest to. Opening up to my emotions, particularly my heart chakra.
