Letter To My Mentor (My Guitar Teacher)
Dear Brian,I am writing to you to thank you for all that you have taught me. You have taught me many lessons on music and how to be the best I possibly could. You have taught me many lessons in life as well. You have taught me to never give up and even though many things will be difficult I will always prevail as long as I give it my all and never stop.
I remember the day I met you when I was 11 years old and a friend of mine took me to one of his guitar lessons, he kept going on and on about his new guitar teacher and how he was so sick at the guitar and such a cool guy and I just had to meet him, so I figured alright that sounds cool I'll come to your lesson and meet this guy. I walked into the place and saw tons of guitars hanging on the wall and a huge poster of all the famous legendary guitarists and tons of empty pizza boxes. I remember my friend just looking at me and saying "Yeah, he LOVES pizza". Within moments of meeting you and watching you play you had made me realize what a horrible player I was haha. But you had also given me a free lesson and wrote down a bunch of helpful tips that still stick with me to this day. Eventually I started taking lessons from you once a week. You've taught me so much about music. You've taught me so much about life as well and you are definitely one of the few people I talk to when I have a problem and you've helped me through many low points in life. With your wisdom and especially your humor you were always able to make me feel better and put me right back on top of things.
When I first met you I was just a young kid that didn't really know much about anything at all. Now I am much wiser and have a very extensive musical knowledge. I've played in a few different bands, been to recording studios, and played many shows all throughout New England and I never would've been able to do any of that had you not been there to help guide me. So I thank you for that.
You're a
shredder on the guitar
But Splinter
In my life
Guide me on
my quest to be a star
You fear no
strife
Always got
me laughing
Van Halen
got nothin on your tapping
You taught
me to always reach high
So I guess a
shredders not always the bad guy
Drew,
ReplyDeleteGood letter. It is very sincere, and I like how specific you get. The imagery of pizza boxes totally draws the reader in, and it adds a needed element of humor. Great writing. Your letter is well organized, paced, and very honest.
Great work on that.
Your poem is ok... Clearly, it was a bit rushed through. It needs to be much longer. Strive for 16-20 lines per poem per week. Again, try to add a little more time and effort, so that your work is not bare bones.
Also, where are your pictures? Google some cool images to catch the eye of your reader. Who would read a website without any pictures? Give this page some rad images so that your reader is drawn in and their imaginations start to peak up.
