Nothing else matters

I can't neglect my guitar. When I should most definitely should be doing something else, it's the draw of the wood work and the feel of the steel strings that I want. I learned how to use vibrato from effectively while playing to make whatever I play more soulful.

I finally learning how to play 'Nothing Else Matters' by Metallica. Probably one of my most favorite acoustic songs. Consistently soft melodic guitar with an ending guitar solo that is just icing on cake. I'm definitely yearning for a jam session, haven't played as a band for months. But those times will come soon. I'm currently trying to work on my personal statements, but there's so much I can possibly write that I have to condense into about 600 words for Prompt #1. I'm definitely trying to avoid writing the stereotypical poor lower class Asian kid with immigrant parents who's trying to get a college. Definitely avoiding that. For Prompt #2, I was considering mentioning my affinity towards playing guitar, and how it's a language that I believe can be tamed and used to leave a dent upon others. Felt right in my head.
