Playing an Instrument

I started showing interest in music from a young age. I remember I was about 5 when I decided to learn how to play the keyboard, so I bought one and my parents put me in lessons, this was when we were in Japan. We soon moved but I continued lessons for maybe another year, in the US I didn't have a very nice teacher. She was old and in my mind "boring", so I quit. A lot of people in my school were in band, so I tried to play the recorder for a while aswell, but was never super interested.

When I moved back to Brazil, I had the brilliant idea do buy an acoustic guitar, I named her Naomi. My parents again put me in lessons and I found myself. I absolutely love playing the guitar and can't imagine now my life without it. I've been having lessons for about  4 years now, and it is often my escape.

I highly recommend people to try and play an instrument because it is a very easy "escape" code. I often find myself quite lost in the music, and for anyone who says it's too hard, obviously has not tried. My dad often tells me that everything is hard until you practice, which is very true.

My favorite songs to play on the guitar are:

Wonderwall - Oasis
Here Without You - Two Doors Down
Stop Crying Your Heart Out - Oasis
Yellow - Coldplay
You Know I'm No Good - Amy Winehouse
Come As You Are - Nirvana
Naive - The Kooks
Iris - Goo Goo Dolls
Creep - Radiohead
Like A Stone - Audioslave
Stand By Me - Oasis
Sitting Waiting Wishing - Jack Johnson
Otherside - Red Hot Chili Peppers
Lugar Ao Sol - Charlie Brown Jr

If you guys have any suggestions of songs you like to play, please leave a comment, and let me know if you try out a new instrument. (:
