_ _ [D] _ Of course, my first experience with music was playing with piano and I [E] kind of _ developed
a classical _ love _ [A] for piano and I kind of [G] throughout the years started studying [A] Chopin, I started
studying like Bach and Mozart and all the classics.
I think transitioning to guitar, [Gb] it really, it did help me a lot, especially with my right
hand and my left hand.
One of [Abm] the main reasons why I started really, really playing guitar is when [A] I figured out
open tunings and it kind of like, [G] you know, changed my whole [Gb] world of how I see guitar
and how I can [E] play it.
But I think it kind of developed a way of me, an easier way for me to [Dbm] like song write.
It's like, oh, I can find that melody if I just search within the keys.
[A] _
I think playing with open tunings has been an absolute, absolutely amazing thing for me
because it kind of took me out of that way of thinking of just playing standard [Gb] guitar.

[A] _ _ _ I picked up guitar basically [Gb] a couple years ago, just, you know, trying to just vent my
feelings and guitar is so accessible and I just [Gbm] wanted to, you know, [A] pick it up and see what happens.
[Gb] Strumming and singing for me was like very [Ab] hard.
I know it's like, it sounds insane, but for me it was really hard.
So I started like tapping with my palm and I couldn't really get it because I would always
like watch guitar players play and I'm like, dang, like how do they do that?
Like [F] get that like kind of percussive [Bb] kind of sound.
One night I was just like noodling around and playing and [Ab]
started tapping on the second
string and it kind of became [F] this thing where I was like, huh, like when I mute [Ab] that string
it can make a sound.
So I started like playing around with it and I developed like a style of, you know, kind
of like piano, trying to like add a melody with each finger.
For guitar players that I take inspiration by, it's like kind of, it can range from [Eb] Nick
Drake to even like [Ab] John Lennon to Wes Borland from like Limp Bizkit.
Like that kind of like delayed style electric guitar playing and just like [Eb] super [Ab] experimental.
When I was playing guitar and making music, I never really like drew inspiration from that.
I was always just like [Eb] in my own zone, just trying to figure out for myself.
So I think after I kind [Ab] of developed a style, I kind of found these people.
I love hardcore music and I love punk music.
For me it's just like, it's so honest and I [Eb] think that's what I'm always searching for
when [Ab] I'm songwriting. _ _

_ As far as this guitar, this G45, very much like the tone when I first picked it up and
I [Gb] played it, it has like a whole _ sound when I play it and it has a very much, it's kind
of like a memory when I play on guitars that I really like playing on.
Because I'm so used to playing on one guitar and you play on it for years and you know,
you get used to the bridge, you get used to playing on the frets and it becomes like part of you.
I feel like these guitars, it's such like a natural finish and like natural kind of like feel.
Like even the guitar itself, like they're handmade so I mean it has that feel to it.
That whole thing that I'm [Cm] searching for when I'm making a [F] song, it's like I'm looking for
tone, [Ab] I'm looking for, you know, I'm searching for that path of what the song is going to be about.
I think when I draw the inspirations from people that I look up to, it's like [Eb] those
songs have so much meaning and so much [Fm] depth and so [Ab] much experience within the songs that
I'm trying to like kind of replicate that in every song that I do.
And I feel like this guitar does that for me.
I always believe that practice and efficient practice is everything.
And so I think that the time that I've been playing guitar [Eb] is much shorter than I've been [Ab] playing piano.
I really feel like I've put [F] so much hours and time and effort into playing guitar and
playing piano that it's effective practice and endless practice is everything.
Of course like [Ab] every musician struggles with, you know, just keeping up with the times and
just playing and playing and playing and you're trying to find your voice and you're trying
to find your path and everything.
And for me now, it's been, you know, it's kind of been like this crazy roller coaster
that I've been [F] on.
Basically, playing in bars for a couple of years and playing to like two people [Ab] to now
it's like I have like a sold out tour.
Like I'm playing to a lot of people now.
And it's insane because it just shows that [F] like if you keep true to who you are, [Ab] like
it's going to work out.
You just got to, you know, keep [Eb] at the practice and keep being honest and like I'm still the
same person and I'm never going to change.
So it's been absolutely amazing.
