I started at 10. Was never a typical learner. Most people learned with chords and scales and such. I learned by sound. Taught myself. Would listen to a song over and over and memorize the notes through sound and would duplicate it. Took a long time to learn about different tuning, and when I found that out, it blew the door off the hinges for me. At 15, I could play the entire BFMV EP album. Then, I started learning atreyu, and so on. Loved anything in drop c cause it just was such a crunchy, deep sound and that was what I loved. I got to a point where I started writing my own tabs and stuff, but never got around to finding people who'd wanna watch me play or play along with me. I did have a guy I worked with when I was in college right before I stopped playing that invited me over once and we jammed in his garage and he told me to play lead for a song and after that, I never played in front of any one again. Dude was blown away though. He showed me some stuff though. Well, explained standard things to me I never grasped though. Truly a cool experience. I'll DM you though, this is world news and we are getting carried away lol

So are you saying the video of fake? It’s not the only one there are several instances of such actions.

Can you provide a “video” of other massive groups of men behaving the same way in other countries.

A lot of country in trouble right now got in that situation because of their own fault. They got loan from private lender, China and sometime development aid. Often those loan were used for useless project. Sri Lanka is a good example. They spent a lot of useless status. The Chinese port itself wasn't particularly placed in a strategic spot. Sri Lanka used those loan to make the ruling family richer. It's not China or the west fault.

The debt trap accusation is bullshit. There are problems with the way China goes about making loans, but they are mostly to do with failing to appropriately assess risk and lack of transparency.

The US and the EU have become unnerved by how successfully China has managed to become friendly with countries in Africa and Central and South America, so they are just flinging shit.

I used to play all the time. When I was 18, I thought I was a prodigy. I was pretty damn good. But was so scared to play in front of anyone. Then I went to college and playing went down the pisser. I still play now and then, but I can't play like I used too. Amazing what 8 years of not playing and trying to pick it back up really shows. Especially given my job has beat my hands and fingers pretty good. But yeah, I can bring that too I suppose.
