Dave Wirth
I love teaching people how to strum a rhythm on guitar. There's such a thrill to see them get it, and it's fun to challenge them too. Learning how to strum involves understanding some mechanics of course, but it's the mindset of strumming that matters most. When a person has the mindset of playing the rhythm, it's almost if time completely stops. Focus becomes absorbed on the strumming, the sound of it, the feeling of playing, and all else fades away. This is how it feels to be completely in the music.
As the title of this blog suggests, the mindset a person gets into when strumming a guitar is analogous to Harry Houdini. We sort of dissapear into the music, and magically reappear after the song is done. The more that time stops when you or I are playing guitar, the more fun it probably was. Even more so, perhaps we become like Guitarzan.
