Acoustic Ysa
Tell me about your history? How did you get where you are now?
well my mom started it all, you know when you're a kid, mom always wants you to learn something. i had piano lessons when i was 8 and got really bored. i could still remember the bribes i used to get from everybody in the family just to go to music school. a few years after that, i was 14 then, i started to gain interest with the guitar. my gran bought me my first guitar on my 15th birthday a yamaha classic nylon guitar, can't believe that guitar is 17 years old now, still in good shape. a self taught not so very patient nor persevering guitar player i am, lol. but i'm trying to learn new things along the way.
Have you performed live in front of an audience? Any special memories?
only on open mic sessions i guess. i haven't got the guts to go out there and play on my own in front of a huge crowd, or maybe i can when i get really pissed hahaha! chatrooms are best i think they don't give you stage fright, lol. in there you can sing all your heart out and play as much as you can without a care in the world.
