Hobby is an activity or activities that you do for pleasure when you are not working. To me, I have so many hobbies which includes; playing soccer (football), playing video games, playing card games, playing board games like monopoly, chess,scrabble, battleship etc.

However, during this lockdown, I have been trying to learn another type of hobby which I missed the opportunity some years back- To play musical instruments like Guitar, piano (keyboard) and drums.

This is my new hobby- learning guitar and during this lockdown, I am learning it virtually through the help of a friend and a brother Guitarist Jakes.

Austin. You have great Hobbies. You sing well and teach us chords well. I think You will need to attend a vocal school or courses. You will be able to perform on stage and be a star. haha)) It’s actually really cool that you play guitar and sing. I think this is very useful because in any company and travel or hike you will be able to cheer people up and the situation will be better. You can record videos on YouTube with good songs, it’s a great hobby. You’re good. I liked the video. Do you often play football?

Playing guitar is so romantic, @Austinelewex . I never played guitar, but always liked to listen it. All girls will be yours, I think!

Don’t give up and work on your mastery.

Funny hat :wink:

@Austinelewex , watching your video of you singing and playing guitar, reminded me a lot of my favorite Greek singer and songwriter - Pantelis Pantelidis (get acquainted with his story, it will be very useful for your hobby).

He began his musical career as his hobby. He loved to sing and play guitar and shoot his videos and upload them to YouTube. What is interesting here is that his songs are inspired by his lost love for his beloved.

You sing and play the guitar very well, maybe you can become a great singer like Pantelis! :clap:

Best regards!

Hello Friend @mockata2

I am so sorry for his demise. He was such a young fellow and has a huge career ahead of him.

Thank you so much for advice.

I will read more about his biography later.

Best regards.

This is an amazing post to read @Austinelewex … Great to see here another FIFA lover. Well, I also love football very much, but it’s been years since I played. I think I have to take it up once this lockdown lifts.

And, great that you are learning guitar in this time. Well, I’m learning a new language and trying some cooking at home … :grinning:

Hello @Tushar18

It feels so good to know that you love football. I always think that football is something all guys should love.

However, I am happy you are learning a new language during this lockdown, if I may ask what language is that @Tushar18 ?

I love cooking as well only when 8 have ample time. :rofl: :joy:

Really nice read @Austinelewex . A few years ago I too took interest in learning to play the guitar but along the line my instructor had too much on his hands so he had to stop classes. Fast forward now to this global Lockdown, I’m learning to bake and it’s been all fun for me :slightly_smiling_face: .
