Playing Guitar
 The
BiG Way of Playing Guitar
When I met my husband I was nineteen
years old, and he had been playing guitar for a long time
before I met him. He was already very good, and this was
something that he loved to do. He loved it so much that it
became a part of who he is and how he lives his life. There
is something magical that happens when he plays and I
don’t know what I would do if that part of him were to
go away.
There are many that think being with a
musician is something that would be fun, but it’s a
lifestyle that many are simply not ready for.
I am not saying that I am a special
breed, but I am a very understanding woman. Playing guitar
is something that my husband will do when he can, and it
often means that I have to plan my life around when he has
shows, must practice, or when he can get into the recording
studio.
Some think being with someone who
spends a lot of time playing guitar in a band is glamorous,
but they have no idea what it is really like. Your life will
never be normal in many ways. I have always wanted an
unconventional life, so it works well for me, even though
there are moments of frustration that I have to deal
with.
Quality Time with the Guitar
Player
Mucisians who play the guitar must
spend a lot of time away on weekends. That makes planning
anything special for weekends very hard to do. Practice is
often on weekdays, so you will end up spending a lot of time
missing your husband (or your wife).
Musicians are usually very dedicated.
Those that aren’t usually quit in their twenties. Those
that go past that age and are still doing all they can to
still play guitar are the ones that will do it for the rest
of their lives.
If
you are not prepared to deal with these sorts of problems
for the rest of your life, this might not be something you
want to start. It is very easy for
me to understand why being a guitar player means so much to
my husband, and that is probably because we met so young and
it is the only life I have known.
If you meet someone who plays guitar
much later in life you may not be able to adjust to the
lifestyle. There is so much more to this type of life, and
it is not suited for everyone. You can compare it to someone
who goes on endless hunting trips, or must travel for work.
Life will not be about coming home at
five after work and being home all weekend. Think hard
before getting in too far, and remember that there is
something special about men who love playing guitar, but a
life with them may not be what you want. Live life to the
fullest but always be aware of the ride you're in
for.
