Wayback 2009 , The younger brother of my step mom came to cebu to study in high school. His name is Niko , he is my influence of playing guitar. He taught me how to put my fingers in the fretboard properly and that was all basic. He just teach me one song and the song called "NARDA" by Kamikazee a famous rock band in our country. After one song , I became more interested to learn more songs and techniques but all of that was self taught.
MY FIRST GUITAR
My first guitar was only handmade and it is not really sounds good and very cheap but it is good for me to practice. I bought it in lapu-lapu which is famous in guitar making in a traditional way. (LOL MY FACE) 
1st Band
I study more and more about music until I have friends in school that knows how to play drums, guitar and also a vocalist. We always jammed during recess time and lunch time in the school. Until we decide to form as a band. We keep practicing only 2 songs (Magbalik by Callalily and Narda by Kamikazee). We rent a band studio near our school and it rates only 120 per hour and it was a good rate for a studio that time. I was a bassist at my first band and the name of our band is "Key of X" ![1551636_1018395204844746_4187867152690619405_n.jpg]

My First Bass Electric Guitar
My first bass electric guitar is very memorable because it's what I want and I bought it in the mall at the cheaper price. It was a birthday gift of my step mom that time. 
My 2nd bass guitar
My 2nd bass guitar is a Jazz bass by "Fernando". It was really good as I have this bass because I give so much effort for earning to buy this not so expensive bass guitar @ayala. I have so many memories with this bass , The gigs, being champion of battle of the bands in school. But sad to say I need to let go. I need to sell it for a cheaper price for school matters.
But still I didn't lose being a musician. In 2017 I bought this "second hand"Suzuki Super Stratocaster Electric guitar. And me and my band "CENCUS" My second band perform 1 set in the University of San Carlos talamban campus during GADJA.
I need to resell my super strat to upgrade my rigs and I came up with this Les Paul Standard Electric guitar. Photogenic brand which is very good because it was made in Japan and the pickups is upgraded to Ephiphone Humbuckers pickups. 
Ending
Learning how to play guitar is just like LOVE, you need to experience a pain before you can learn from that pain. THANKS!
