I Wanna be a Rockstar
Dec 3rd, 2008 by Roxana
I always wanted to be a rock star. Well, who hasn’t? But I took it too seriously, and at the age of 15, I got an electric guitar and became the nightmare of the neighborhood. The main problem with that is that my teacher, a progressive rock local hero, spent more hours telling me about his personal tragedies and feeding me with anti-establishment notions than manufacturing decent sounds from my brand new guitar.
So, yeah, I was far away from becoming Slash, no matter how often I wore Guns N’ Roses t-shirts.
Although my teacher is an excellent musician, I would have learned more if I had saved the personal talk for my hairdresser, and listened to LickLibrary’s tutorials on how to play like Angus Young .
To become a good guitar player, all you need to do is practice. It’s the only way to play that riff with a real guitar instead of just waving chords in the air like Bill & Ted.
The truth is, I later discovered that it wasn’t only my teacher’s talk that stopped me from becoming a guitar expert. I simply had way more potential as a drummer…
