maybe you should change the topic title?

What makes you love this instrument ?: Big, sounds mellow, gorgeous and lovely feel.

Music you love :
* Classical:
Beethoven
Mozart
Johann Pachelbel
bond

* Mainstream:
Yellowcard
Vanessa Carlton
The Veronicas
The Ataris

Extra info to share your funny / sad experience during your musician journey :
"Music and art are like brothers and sisters. In here, who will appreciate "the-state-of-art"?

People listening to music just to shake their heads. Maybe that's the purpose of music to beautify but no, music is a storytelling that no one will dig the hole and goes to the journey.

Thanks to the "easy living" attitude, in here I'll never find any sucessful music career, a serious music career.

"An art speaks a thousand words", "A music piece speaks thousands of feelings and expression".

What will you tell the beginners?
"Love music before you play anything (if you're serious)". And I mean, REAL LOVE.

A question: When you play music or a song, do you know what is that particular song means?
An answer: You should know the answer before you play.

6 hours or more a day?

What the...6 or more hours a day?! Since the age of 4?!
That is......in one word....EPIC!

You must be some virtuoso or something, you related to Yo Yo Ma?
Or Tsaba Koros?

I'm started as a art performer since age of 4 then go along with music. But then I love music more so I spend more time on it since then till today.

If you compare mainstream and classical music, there's a big difference. Imagine a 10 minutes song with guitar solo on it non-stop from the beginning till the end. That's the pressure for classical musicians.

I'm not related to anyone, I am myself.

You seem to be very disciplined. I can never practice for more than 3 hours

^
i can never practice for more than 30 mins

Like that how come you guys can play metal so well? (I saw it on the LYN jam clips)

One Word. . .

Talent =D

6 hours? that's like john petrucci and john myung's daily practice routine...(or was it 8 hours? cannot recall )

er, hantam, hantam, and hantam some more

i cannot yet la.. still nooob.. maybe in a few years time.. MAYBE

Then practice longer, practice makes perfect.

but nobody's perfect, so why practice?
sometimes i damn inspired to practice, sometimes i feel like dunno what to practice, sometimes can practice a lot, sometimes no patience..
its normal i guess

There's tons of human says "Nothing is perfect" and I don't believe that. If you want to know more about this, long story.

What you need before you touch a thing? Real love and only if you're serious.

Just like people say: "Do what you love"

With that, perfection exists. (I'm still pretty sure some of you don't agree with that so, it's my opinion after all).
