    I"m 35 and decided to try to learn the guitar because of your music, even with nerve damage in my hands. You're and inspiration and I can't wait to see what the future holds for you!

      Django Reinhardt was one of the first to prove that a disability is not a reason to stop working on your music skills. Keep up the good work and it will pay off. Also there's hundreds of ways to cheat at guitar. Feel proud of any progress you do.

    Insomnia gave me chills.
    It felt as if I got sleep paralysis
    and as if someone was eating me.
    But it also felt like someone was comforting me. I felt a lot of emotions in just a few moments.
    this guy has some crazy skill.

    I've started watching Mushi-shi recently and I think this EP really resembles the atmosphere. Not sad nor happy. But almost poetic and melancholic beauty where my heart and soul can talk to each other in solitude and peace. Makes me feel very calm. To everyone struggling with life - Take your time, breathe a lot, go for walks, eat healthy, surround yourself with good people and music. I wish you all a great day :)

    His music pulls you into his world of emotions and the moment you've started to feel it all within you, it draws you back to floating in a void of nothingness. It's soothing and daunting at the same time. Feeling it all and nothing at all. As beautiful as it is, it's scary to listen to sometimes, having to be in a dark void or being so calm that you're afraid it's gonna end.
