I've been playing the guitar for 3 years and a bit, I'm self taught as well. Music is pretty much my life and it's probably the best stress relief in existance. I do write my own music and, like all musicians, hoping to make it big sometime in the future. If you want to see some of my original compositions, check out my youtube:

People ask me why I don't show my face in most of my vids and it's not because I'm secretly a convict or because I'm absolutely grotesque, it's more like a way so that people will keep interested. The whole mystery thing. But yes,I'd love to chat so feel free to leave me a messege anytime. Cheers.
