We were on the topic of different ballads the other day. Ballads use to be my favorite, especially rock or metal ones. I use to like them because I thought the musicians in the songs put a lot of emotion and feelings in. I know musicians probably try to put feeling in most of their songs. Unless it is a song about partying or something that is on a complete other spectrum. Ballads are usually sad and slow, and most of the time in a minor key. When I was first learning how to play guitar, I would search up ballad tracks and play along with them. It was always fun improvising, and it taught me a lot as well. I use to use my guitar as therapy, everyday after school before leaving to go to band practice or baseball practice, I would just spend a couple hours playing guitar to just forget about stupid high school drama and the typical problems high school students face. As soon as I started playing I would forget everything, they were just so soothing to play too. They helped my depression a lot, but music in general did that for me. I am sure that is the same for other people. some time past and I met a new friend kid named Doryan Ward, he got me into screamo music and heavy music and now my life consist of playing heaving music all the time from sweet guitar harmonies and hard hitting breakdowns.
