very relaxing activity. It gives person some time to think and dream.
Guitar or guitars also give my room some personality. When it hangs on my wall it seems like a
piece of art. I have two guitars - one is black acoustic one and the second is a yellow Spanish
guitar. The last one was my first guitar and both of them are Yamaha products. I bought the

songs to play them. My favorite songs that I have learned are Led Zeppelin’s Stairway to Heaven
and Leonard Cohen’s Hallelujah. I can also play a bit Sting, Nirvana, Metallica and the Animals.
In the future I want to improve my guitar playing skills and maybe use them in some small band
or I would just like to play with my friends. I would certainly recommend learning guitar. If
interest in it comes, it cannot be put away.
