I've played classical, electric guitar on and off the last 35 years. I dropped it several times then re-discovered it again. I think I finally understand how to approach the electric after 30 years from watching some players and studying theory more in-depth. I can't live without music. I think I have periods where I get carried away with it which I can't decide is good or bad. Playing a musical instrument teaches you lots of things, it's a good way to spend time and it's good for concentration. I guess the best way to get thru life is thru moderation which is an art in itself and takes practice.
