Playing has been a hobby for me since I was 10 years old. I never really became serious about playing until I was in college studying electronics and computer technology. Something went haywire within me. All I wanted to do was play guitar. I realized finishing school was more practical. So here I am mainly playing for fun. I guess that's what it's really all about. Having fun. I also like to teach. One can also learn a lot from teaching. It works both ways. Teaching privately is an art. Every individual is different with different needs, strengths, and weaknesses.
