Lean your body forward slightly to support the guitar against your chest, for the poetry of the music should resound in your heart.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Playing the guitar, you kind of lock into a rhythm and a groove, and then it relaxes me to make up lyrics and sing.
Often I have to move my body in a certain way, like exercising, to begin to get into the right rhythm for writing a song.
You must play for the love of music. Perfect technique is not as important as making music from the heart.
My heart, which is so full to overflowing, has often been solaced and refreshed by music when sick and weary.
I don't write poetry and then strum some chords and then fit the words on top of the chords.
I don't read music. I don't write it. So I wander around on the guitar until something starts to present itself.
I've always made music from the heart, and that's what I do.
Poetry is plucking at the heartstrings, and making music with them.
I feel like guitar explains a lot. You can just listen to a guitar without any lyrics over it; you can just feel what kind of track it is. If it's pain... you can feel it. It sets the mood.
But that guitar is the perfect companion to the human voice. You rest it against your gut, against your heart, and when you strum it the vibrations go outwards for all to hear, but the vibration also hits you on your body.
