Resurrection of The Guitarist



Well, this is my first post in my blog..


Let me kick-off by telling ya all regarding how a movie motivated me to pick up my guitar and begin strumming after a break of duration of an year..!!


I began learning guitar in the summer of '07 and had to put a halt to the classes as the schedule was getting tight in my college..(you know, exams and all..)

If I reminisce properly, one might have had hardly seen me with my guitar..!!:D

The leisure time I usually used to get in a day after my college hours was hardly even 8 hours. Still, I utilized that time productively(Don't include my guitar in here).


Till then, I was just a normal guy with the basic schedule daily-Wake up in the morning-Go to college, come back home at 6pm, study, have fun if there's still time left over and finally, hit the sack.

After our first term exams last year, the study-load decreased a bit and I thought it was time to relax and watch movies.

I watched 'Jaane Tu Ya Jaane Na'. Loved the movie and the music. AR Rahman's music is undoubtedly the best..!!


But, that wasn't the movie that motivated me..

One of my closest pals told me about a movie which was too good to miss watching.
Very soon, I watched it too..I just loved the movie more than anything other movie I'd watched last year. The music especially was enthralling..!! The music's completely Rock..I got obsessed to the music, being a Rock music fan.

You might have already guessed the name..

Yeah!..It's ROCK ON!


I watched the movie a number of times..Loved each and every part of the movie..

Till then, my guitar was safely placed in my cupboard. It was absolutely safe..Nobody had used it since Jan, '08..not even me..!!

But, then I realised that it was high time. What's the use of keeping a lovely acoustic guitar locked inside a cupboard?

To be frank, the movie woke up THE GUITARIST in me..lol:D The lead band 'MAGIK' in the movie really created magic in me!!:D

And, guess what..from then, I didn't even leave my guitar a moment!! Trust me!

'Pichle Saat Dino Mein' was the first song I started pratcising since watching Rock On! Then I slowly moved towards the other songs in the same movie.
I normally used to listen to more number of English songs and a little of Hindi music.
Seriously guys, this movie had changed my musical mentality completely..

I had begun practising all kinds of music I'm a bit familiar with-English, Hindi and Telugu.
And I realised quite lately that my guitar's my BEST PAL.

Even today, I try to strum my guitar when ever I find time..


P.S. My Mom,my family members and my friends also played a big role in motivating me to play the guitar.

Happy November to all of ya..!!
