Music's History in Me
Music has always occurred naturally within me. Ever since I was very young, I would always remember all the lyrics of my favorite songs, so I could have them permanently in my head, and it didn't take me long at all to remember them, they just naturally stuck if I liked them. When I grew older, at about age 12-13, I experimented with learning the drums, and they provided me a way to blow off steam whenever I was angry, upset, or just had a lot of energy. I naturally had good rhythm and feel for the drum set. Then freshman year, I started learning the guitar. This also came to me relatively easy at first, and I accelerated with it and now I can learn almost any song I want (that's not insanely hard like eruption) and recently began to improvise. Guitar provides me an escape to stress and is one of my favorite hobbies now a days. The music I am MOST into would have to be 90's alternative and grunge, such as Nirvana, Alice in Chains, Smashing Pumpkins, and bands like that, which is the type of stuff I usually learn on guitar. Something about the vibe of grunge affiliates perfectly with any mood I am in and I can never get tired of it, even if I'm listening to the same songs over and over.
