How did you get acquainted with guitar playing?
I started because a friend of mine asked me to learn guitar, those basic chords and basic guitar stuff. After that, I started to look for more things to improve and enhance myself as a musician. I started to watch YouTube and saw some of my favourite guitarists, such as Seiji Igusa and Yuki Matsui.
