hi everyone, since my passion is on playing the guitar, i would just like to write a short entry on the different kinds of guitars. this is just come common knowledge to know because i've realised that many people cannot differentiate between different guitar sounds.

so here we go, just a short description about different types of guitars. I will be covering 4 different types of guitars in this entry. They are the classical guitar, the acoustic guitar, the bass guitar, and the electric guitar.

the classical guitar as the name says, is a 6 string guitar which uses nylon strings. It is usually used for instrumental pieces. the best example i can think of is to imagine a spanish piece, or imagine... Zorro, or the 3 Amigos, that kind of music. it uses a classical guitar to play it.

With the Christmas season just around the corner, i have decided to embed one of my Youtube videos here. The song is "O Holy Night", a well-known Christmas song probably all around the world. We played this piece quite some time back to usher in the Christmas season for our subscribers. Hope you enjoy it too!

This is just my thoughts on the meaning of Christmas. I think sadly, it has become a festival where people focus more on giving presents and having dinners. However, this is not what Christmas should be about. In fact, as the name says Christmas is about "Christ".

As i was just thinking of what i could do with my time since i've recently graduated from university and have some spare time to kill, i decided that i would start a blog of my own. By blog, i don't mean blogging like i'm doing here, but i'm going to start a site where i can attempt to teach the basics of guitar to people who visit it.

i know the pains of having to maintain a blog because sometimes there just isn't anything to write about. so for this blog that i will set up, i'm not going to make it a daily thing, but i'll post only when i'm inspired.

at this moment, i've got many ideas running through my mind, on the design of the blog, the content of the blog and also the thought of whether it will be a helpful resource to others.

i don't know if any of you who read this are guitarists, but my aim will be to be able to teach total beginners the basics of guitar, and to show them that it really isn't that hard to learn it.
