Here's a pic of my uncle and aunt that I took last year.

I suck at sight reading music, but give me a song to play by ear and I'll be playing along with it in minutes!
Usually I don't pick which songs I play. This might sound nuts, but God gives me songs to play. If I don't get the hint, He'll play that song several times on the radio or give me a devotional with the words or title of that song in it. He's constantly giving me new songs. Sometimes I'll be learning 5-10 songs all at once! If I plan my own song to play, He makes it painful and hard to play every song except for the one HE wants me to do. Usually I listen and play the song that seems easiest to play and it'll match right up with the sermon or the rest of the church service. It may seem weird, but I wouldn't have it any other way. I believe music is meant to worship God. I do play some classical too, and dont have anything against the other genres, but I do love my Christian contemporary music

That's really awesome! My sister can play piano and violin by ear.

Nice. I've been listening in on my little brother's piano lessons (given to him from mom) and have been able to pick up some chords and play a little tune with him

I can't even read sheet music I just read tabs or mess around and try other things out, I also bought myself a book called 'Guitar theory for dummies', Very interesting - but also very difficult to learn! I managed to teach myself the riff of 'Fast car' by Tracy chapman just by listening to/watching her play and trying things out. God doesn't tell me what songs to play ._. But each to his own, if that's your thing then awesome

I'm so sorry, Sarah.

He sounds like he was a wonderful guy.

Though I know you miss him, he's in the best place ever now, Heaven.

Thank you, Bella.

Yes, it's so comforting to know that he is in Heaven now. I can't imagine losing someone and not knowing God; you don't have hope in where they are and no faith in God who is in control.

Music is a major stress reliever for me. I think, even if someone doesn't believe in God, He can still comfort them through music.
I wouldn't know anything about tabs either. I'm a sheet music (any kind of written music, really) dummy

Music is a great comfort, so glad I picked up guitar. Tabs are a kind of sheet music specific to guitar, they're very simple.

 

[Athaid]

Well I say simple, they do get more complicated as you progress. I would like to learn to read music though, just because I find it interesting. But guitar is just a hobby for me

Hey guys! Sorry I disappeared for so long without warning. My family and I just got back from Texas. My uncle ended up having a horrible case of pancreatitis. After his second surgery things seemed to be going well and his pancreas actually didn’t look bad. As the doctor was telling my aunt that my uncle would probably recover, sirens went off and a code blue happened. My uncle died that night. It was extremely tragic. He was only 36 years old and he has a 12 year old son.

The funeral was very well done and very simple, however about 350 people showed up! The funeral home had people lined up all the way out the doors! It doesn't surprise me though. My uncle was a very rare man. He brought joy to everyone he met. He was selfless and truly loved unconditionally. I am still in shock that he is gone. I cannot imagine the pain my aunt and cousin are going through. Loss is a part of life but I know that God’s plan never ceases to occur and always ends in good. And I also know that I’ll see my uncle again and, until then, I hope to touch people and live life to the fullest just as he did.

Nice. I've been listening in on my little brother's piano lessons (given to him from mom) and have been able to pick up some chords and play a little tune with him

I usually play by ear.

My family isn't religious, but we all seem to believe in reincarnation, so the afterlife seems pretty cool - because you get to live as something or someone else. :3

I've always wanted to learn guitar, but ours broke. :/ I know a bit of piano, but. :/ :/ XD

Aw, I'm sorry, Blue.
