Why Do You Play?

I am learning guitar as a means to express myself, my feeling and emotions, through music.
When I first picked up a guitar many years ago, I just wanted to repeat songs that I liked...that only lasted a very short time. I decided that I wasn't musically inclined and quit because I couldn't play like Eddie Van Halen after a couple weeks of trying. Now as an adult, I love to see musicians play with passion and feeling. The desire to translate my feelings and passion into music is what drives me.
I've been using the L&M Guitar course for a year now and supplementing with the Blues Guitar course. I appreciate the music theory that Steve provides in the courses...I am a "Why?" type of person...I have to understand the scales and the layout of the guitar to understand why each note is used in each instance. With the instruction I am beginning to build a foundation from which I can develop my personal style of playing. Through this I hope to be able to express myself through music, in addition to being able to play songs that I enjoy.
