Today I found out a little bit about my neighborhood. I been seeing this dude going in and out of his house since fall of last year (2010) and when we notice each other, we nod our heads to acknowledge our presence like what's up or, hey.. and that's about it.
I was parking my car and he approached me to ask if I was the one he hears playing guitar. I said yups that's me and my initial reaction was to apologize for playing a little bit too loud at times. He said, oh no.. it's totally alright and he just like to tell me that he's been hearing my guitar for sometime.. then, he told me that he teaches music for a living. He invited me over to his studio in his house and grabbed a guitar, plugged it and played me a riff in the tune of the intro to the song "You really got me" by Van Halen. I wasn't sure if I was impressed or feeling jealous because I was like blown away by his playing techniques. The cool thing was that he offered me guitar lessons for free and I immediately said SIGN ME UP man!! I hope I be able to read notes and play like him soon. Fk yeah!!!
He's like a Statefarm agent.. you know.. a good neighbor?
