New Obsession: Acoustic Guitar

Sungha Jung, guitar prodigy

This boy makes me feel so under-accomplished. He is only three months my senior and already has 2 albums under his name, as a professional acoustic finger-style guitarist. I discovered him yesterday by accident, through YouTube's sidebar. The first cover I heard by him was "Kiss the Rain" by Yiruma, one of my favorite soulful songs. Now Sungha has my complete respect as a guitarist.
After listening to so many of his covers and originals - which all left me speechless - I have the strong desire to learn the acoustic guitar. Not long from now, I will be out in an empty field, sitting back to back with a friend, lazily playing "Here Comes the Sun", all our worries far away, with nothing but the blue sky above and the green grass below.

What am I listening to: Irony (Sungha Jung)
What am I thinking of: whether anyone reading this will actually give him a moment of their time
What I should be doing: my homework, obviously
What I want to do: stretch, I've been sitting on the floor for hours
