I initially started out wanting to be like Syn - have a band, write music, tour, albums, etc.
After about 6 years into playing, while I had a fair share of band experiences & performing, I delved into virtuoso playing and it landed me more gigs than having a band. I was at the peak of my guitar career then.
While on that route, I went into teaching & mentoring my juniors in school and then I developed the interest to want to end up teaching guitar/music if my dream of being a rockstar doesn't ever come.
And now I'm also servicing & repairing guitars, which I taught myself too. It all blends well together for as long as I get to learn more about guitars & meet like-minded, passionate people.
While I've been doing all of the above, I couldn't give time to myself to develop my skills and all, but at least I know I'm contributing back to the music community.
And now, I'm starting to go back into trying to teach, taking a proper lesson with a teacher(while also catching up in SGS), still servicing & repairing guitars as my side job, and also at the same time develop my skills while I teach (learning together with students).
All-in-all, it circled around one intention which I had at the very beginning - which was to spread the love & passion for music & guitars, all thanks to Jimmy & A7X.
