Why Did You Start Playing Guitar? Why Do You Love It?

Someone recently asked me how I got into playing guitar and why I love it. Well, here's my story, and I'd certainly like to hear yours.

Why did I decide to start playing guitar?

Back then (ancient history of course), guitar was a very popular instrument in Ireland, and every guy in school had a guitar and was learning to play. So I guess you could say it was the "in" thing to do. But of course, I always like the sound of the guitar and so started taking lessons when I was 9-year-old and have been playing ever since.

Why do I love it?

All my family played instruments, piano, violin and guitar. There was always music in the home, either the radio was playing or my Mother was singing and playing the piano.

Understanding "Sus" Chords

Sus4 chords have no third, which is "suspended" (sus = suspended) and replaced by a fourth. A variant of the sus-chord is the sus2, where the third is replaced with a second. The sus-chords are neither major nor minor chords. Ex: Csus4 consists of the notes C, F and G.

Key of G chord sequence is G - Em - C - D or D7

Let me know if there is a chord you would like to see here:
