as much as possible I find time to play guitar. dahil ngayon working na ako, minsan mahirap maghanap ng time para magguitar kasi pag uwi pagod galing work, tapos pag weekends todo pahinga or may lakwatsa. Pero I make it a point to practice weekly, play a song or two, or just plain noodling around.

maganda talaga kung seseryosohin mo ang paggigitara if you want to be good at it, pero not to the point na mas malaki na ang problema mo sa paggigitara kesa sa mga mas importanteng bagay sa buhay mo.

it's all about prioritizing. oks lang na you take playing guitar seriously, but do not forget the point of playing an instrument = playing good music and having lots of fun!

at one point i got really depressed about playing because my job and my business got all of my time, i was forced to leave my band because i can't rehearse with them or even study a song to play...decided to sell every gear that i've worved so hard to get over the years...after a  few weeks, it got more depressing because i wanted to play again but there's nothing to play.....it's really playing guitar that matters to me. hindi pala mahalaga kung sumikat ka o hindi, kung maging kasinggaling mo si page or si beck, kung abutin ka ng 10 years para lang ma-perfect ang stairway to heaven solo...ang mahalaga ay makap-gitara ka....
ngayon, may guitars na uli ako and i'm enjoying them like never before.
:-)  most of the time, the only reason i want to go home is just to play guitar in my room....ang sarap ng feeling when you hear the guitar tone coming right out of your own playing...the feedbacks out of the amp's speakers...the smooth flow of the chorus....man! it's just a great pleasure... :-)

"so what if you use up all of your time to practice? chances are you'll be a very good guitarist but if you sacrifice your social life then you'll most likely end up not having a band and playing alone with a TonePort and backtrack MP3s" -sabi ni sir Poundcake

^yan ang kinakatakutan kong mangyari sa'kin haha

anyway, kung halimbawa i-try mo nga i-balance ang lahat eh baka naman maging "jack of all trades and master of none" ka. naalala ko lang sabi ni erpat.

Kung libangan lang sayo ang pagtugtog, walang problema.. lalo na kung yan talaga ang gusto mo.. Sabe nga nila, baket ka ba natugtog?? For fame?? Musical Integrity or for money??... kung tumutugtog ka lang para sa pera... malake ang magiging problema mo...

I've read this thread from page 1 up to this.


All I can say is, with all the response given, I decided to pick up my guitar again (after 6 years) and go back to practicing, and hopefully find people to play with with the same preference. (funk/blues/reggae/RnR etc).


Now the question is.......tentenenen!!!!, I need to repair my guitar, can someone give me recommendations on a guitar shop hopefully near:
Makati (ayala), San mateo Rizal, Cubao QC. or someone direct me to a thread pertaining to guitar repair shops please....I want to revive/modify the following gears: Washburn chicago series(PU change and bridge (floyd) replacement), Fender strat - only the body and pick guard is remaining, AX1500g (lumubog nung ondoy but still functional).

all in ALL thanks for bringing my passion back.


Now that I have a stable job to pay for it...BTW what is GAS?

tagal na pala ng thread na 'to,
Frustration only came to me when we joined our first battle, kami ang kulelat... How would a band of 15 year olds with only 3 hours of practice win anyway... That sucked big time! But then again, nothing beats the happiness of being able to play the music you love together with fellow musicians.
Oo, mahirap maging gitarista, lalo na pag napapasarap na ang pagtugtog mo sa loob ng kwarto mo, tapos biglang may tatawag sa 'yo, "Iho! Bumaba ka nga dito! Bili ka ng toyo!" Deym! That's my biggest frustration! Not being able to enjoy music as much as I want. Lalo na ngayon, mag college na ako and I have to leave my music behind to concentrate on my studies :-(
Forever newbie :(
