I started playing guitar when I was four or five and I continued getting lessons up until the end of last year. At the end of last year my guitar teacher, who I had been taught by since I was four or five, was taking a break from teaching because his wife was going to have a baby and he knew that he wasn't going to have very much time for lessons. Since I wasn't constantly learning something new and I have recently been busy with moving, I didn't have very much time to pick up my guitar, up until last week. Last weekend my guitar teacher and his wife came over to our house to see us (because we haven't been able to see each other in several months) and we got to meet his son. My guitar teacher said that he would be able to resume lessons again, now that he and his wife had their schedules figured out. This week I have started to learn a blue grass song. It's really fun to play because it's a fast song and it has a funny rhythm. It reminded m of how much I love playing the guitar. Over the years I have played all kinds of songs, gypsy jazz, blues, blue grass, and rock music. When I play different genres, they all make me feel a different emotion. Some of the songs I just want to tap my foot to. Other songs are the kind of songs I would dance to.  I have learned so much, playing the guitar, and I have loved almost every bit of it.
