Guitar at home

Playing guitar has been one of those things for me that I really just like to do.  I started playing when I was twelve years old.  I can remember that birthday, I was sent on a treasure hunt and that's what I found.  There were a couple of things that inspired me to play the guitar.  The first thing was my step-father.  He didn't play a whole lot, but he did play enough for me to realize that that was something I wanted to do.  The second was a movie with Jack Black in it called the "School or Rock."  When I saw that movie I decided that playing the guitar was something I wanted to do.  Come my birthday that's what I got, and I've never put the guitar down since.  Kenny and I would always play, but now that I don't live at home we don't get the opportunity that much.  One of the highlights of me going home for the holidays is to play the guitar with him.  Since I've gotten a guitar Kenny has stayed stagnant in his progression which means when we play now I have to play easier stuff so he can keep up.  I've tried teaching him new things, and it's not that an old dog can't learn new tricks it's that they don't want to learn new tricks.  That's the case with Kenny, he just doesn't want to put the time in to become better.  Despite all of that it's still fun to play the guitar with him.  Thanks to Jack Black and Kenny I have a hobby that can last for the rest of my life.
