In many ways a guitar really is a spiritual weapon. It is used
to create sounds that plant ideas (and patterns of thought) into
the minds of millions. The ideas sang with the guitar make big
impacts on the listeners, but what would draw the people but
the GUITAR. Without the guitar, rock music (or any decent music)
would be nothing. People wouldn't even bother to come to the
shows... the guitar has the power.
The power of the guitar can be utilized for both good or evil.
And almost every time it is used for God's glory it is critized
as being "of the devil" or "satanic" or some equally demeaning
phrase. I have one question to ask "Why have so many rejected
Christian people's use of this spiritual weapon called a guitar
to help bring the message of Christ to people all over the
world??"
I am not in a band (never have been). I only play (practice,
acquire more skill) because I know
that God wants me to use my guitar and my poetic ability to bring
the gospel to thousands of starving (spiritually) people some day.
He wants to use the meager talents I have to spread His love,
His hope, His peace, and His joy to a broken generation. And I
strive only to do His will...
What I play now is mostly either chords to praise music or
tab to Christian hard rock/metal I get from
Rockin' With the
Cross (an AWESOME site). I'm currently working on writing
some songs, but nothing is quite finished yet. When I finish
them I will post them on this page...
Who is the prey of my guitar? It is the only enemy I have,
or ever will have in this lifetime. The devil. The one who
destroyed life and decieved many into believing his lies..
He is the only one I want to destroy.
My history with the guitar:
I don't remember the first time I decided I wanted to play
the guitar. I guess I was fairly young when I decided that
I wanted to. I thought a person who could play the guitar
was awesome, and the sounds made by the guitars were really
cool. So, I've basically wanted to play ever since I was a
little kid.
It wasn't until the beginning of my junior year in high school
that I actually started learning to play the guitar. I learned
on a classical (which I hate now) guitar until my dad bought
me my acoustic (December 1996). I learned more on that. (I still
have this acoustic guitar) I played that for a while until my
dad lent me the money (actually.. he basically just gave it to
me.. as I don't think I ever paid it off) to buy my first
electric guitar and amp. It was a korean rip off brand called
"Rockwood" and the amp is also a korean rip off brand (and it
is the only one I currently have).
I don't remember when I got either of them. I think my first
pedal (a DOD distortion) was a birthday present and the other
one (a Super Chorus) was a Christmas present one year.
So, I played that electric for about a year and half until it
was finally too messed up and wouldn't even plug in. I picked
up my acoustic and played that for a while. But, ended up leaving
my guitar here (in Korea) when I went to visit the states last
summer (summer 97).
While I was in the states I went and looked in some guitar
shops. While in a few I priced guitars. At least I tried to
price the decent ones, not the pieces of trash that cost
as much as my first one. We (my dad and I) asked the guy
which guitar was a good price and good quality at a particular
shop. He pointed
to the Peavey Predator.
about a week later I went back there with enough money for the
guitar in my pocket (I got ALL my birthday money AND an advance
on Christmas money from my grandmother). I sat down in a chair
and played the guitar a little bit before I bought it to make
sure there wasn't anything wrong with it (they had an amp that
they allowed you to use). There was nothing wrong with it so
I decided to buy it. My dad had to fork out 50 some dollars
to buy me a nice hard case for it. (I never paid him back
though) So, I left the states with a decent guitar and case.
Since then I've just been practicing and playing on my guitar
and it has lasted and is in just as good of shape as it was
when I bought it...
