Hidden talent?

I guess playing the piano since pre age 5 is talent. I never new how to read music until I started playing the flute. Then I knew what all the notes were. I sing, play piano, and the flute. Who knew I could play the guitar?

My dad has played the guitar my whole life. When we lived in California I remember he would always sit on our back porch and play with my uncle, or whoever was at our house. I love the guitar. The way the strings hold for almost ever. The fact that there is endless possibilties for notes. They make it such a beautiful instrument. My brother got guitar hero for Christmas, and a bass for his birthday. Together they inspired him to make music. I always have had the piano, but it is hard to be a rockstar on one instument alone. I mean look at the Jonas brothers. Kevin can only play bass or guitar or whatever he plays, and Joe can't really do anything but sing. Nick can sing, play guitar, piano, and drums. It is no wonder he is the most famous, and going off on his own for a while. I want to be a famous rockstar and my piano was losing its' magic. I had to take a break.

I have always been a visual learner. I guess 16 years of watching my dad finally paid off when I picked up the guitar I have had since I was 14. It was weird. My fish was sick, my brother had surgery, winter was coming, school was getting hard, and everything was out of the norm. So I took my guitar out of its' case and played it. The first day I played it I wrote a song. It isn't complete, but it gave me a promising start to my guitar carerr.

I currently have two songs in the making, and can play part of a song my dad has played around me my whole life. I took secretly a poster of guitar chords from my brother's room and use it when I am stumped. It is portable, and I can play it hiding in my room, rather then in front of my family in the living room. I play it everyday, even if it is only one of my incomplete songs.

I might not ever be a rockstar, and I will return to my first love of my piano I promise, but it is great to know I can do more then I think I can. It is hard being a teenage girl. There is no argueing against that. Having an escape is a great way out, and I have found mine. :)

My dad used to play this song to me and it used to make me cry. It is a great guitar song.
