Bout the same for me except I'm 20 and hadn't played for 2 years only until recently.. I knew for a fact however, from the second I heard this rendition of Romantic Flight that I was going to pick it back up. Honestly, some of the chords (especially those pesky barre chords) and techniques are making it reeeeally tough for me but I'm determined to not give up, it's just that beautiful. The way BTG plays it makes it look waay to easy lol. That's how you know you're listening to a pro, they make it look easy

1. “There are no accidents.” Master Oogway 2. “You are too concerned about what was and what will be.” Master Oogway 3. “There is just news. There is no good or bad.” Master Oogway 4. “If you only do what you can do, you will never be more than you are now.” Master Oogway 5. “Yesterday is history, tomorrow is a mystery, and today is a gift. That’s why they call it the present.” Master Oogway 6. “That is bad news if you don’t believe in yourself.” Master Oogway 7. “It is you who must decide whether to stay or go.” Master Oogway 8. “When the path you walk always leads back to yourself, you never get anywhere.” Master Oogway 9. “It is time.” Master Oogway 10. “There is always something more to learn. Even for a master.” Master Oogway 11. “Use your skills for good young warrior. Find the one thing you were denied so long ago - compassion.” Master Oogway 12. “I don’t know.” Master Oogway 13. “You are the master of your destiny: No one and nothing can come in between you and your destiny except you. Take destiny by the horns and have fun.” Master Oogway 14. “One often meets his destiny on the road he takes to avoid it.” Master Oogway 15. “Your mind is like this water, my friend. When it is agitated, it becomes difficult to see. But if you allow it to settle, the answer becomes clear.” Master Oogway 16. “Maybe it can - if you are willing to guide it, to nurture it, to believe in it.” Master Oogway 17. “Look at this tree. I cannot make it blossom when it suits me, nor make it bear fruit before its time. No matter what you do that seed (of peach) will grow to be a peach tree. You may wish for an apple or an orange, but you will get a peach.” Master Oogway 18. “My time has come. You must continue your journey, without me.” Master Oogway 19. “Inner peace, inner peace.” Master Oogway 20. “It matters not what someone is born, but what they grow to be.” Master Oogway 21. “You must let go of the illusion of control.” Master Oogway 22. “When will you realize, the more you take, the less you have.” Master Oogway 23. “There are no coincidences in this world.” Master Oogway 24. “Nothing is impossible.” Master Oogway 25. “You just need to believe. You must believe.” Master Oogway

"Yesterday is history, Tomorrow is a mystery, and Today is a gift. That is why it is called the present" - Master Oogway

[@Aethrin]

One of the things I love about classical guitar the most is that at its core, it really more of a storyteller type of music, rather then a well wraught feeling to grandiose artpiece. Wether I listen to grand symphony, hard rock, electro, rave or even barouque/classical/romantic era not are as down to earth as this form. At the end of a day, there is a great feeling to sitting at the base of a tree and playing classical guitar at the setting sun horizon. Humility as a work of pure art. Telling a story that everyone can relate to.

[@CatttLadyyy]

Wow thanks for making me cry.
