1) Music to me is by definition emotions. A song is an island filled with deep emotions and feelings and a song must be able to touch the listener in the heart and soul.
2) I don't believe in simply copying the original. Try to change a song into your own version of it. For instance in the way you play an instrument and/or sing or change tempo or add different musical arrangements, etc, etc.
3) I don't mind playing covers of songs. In the classical music world almost everything exists of covers. The music-pieces of composers are often centuries old. In popular music it is no problem playing songs written and recorded by others. Just add what is specifically your own.
4) Music is always subject to people's personal taste. Your background, culture , the country you live in, your environment, etc, are factors that may influence your musical taste. But all human beings have emotions and feelings. With music you can touch someone in the heart and soul and arouse emotions and feelings.
5) Pure technical skills don't necessarily mean that a music-piece is conceived as beautiful.
6) It are the listeners who will judge your songs and music. Not you as the musician or other people in the music-business.

Music is Feelings
Dare to feel emotions again!
That’s my personal motto!
It is what is lacking in most contemporary musical expressions.
To me music is emotions
A feeling you get when you listen to music.
A feeling you are left with when the music has finished.
A beautiful feeling, a sad feeling, a melancholic feeling, a feeling of being homesick, a feeling of desire, a feeling of passion, a feeling of infinity, a floating etheric feeling.
Feelings and emotions are just simply very important for human beings.
Emotions you keep inside of yourself or you express them in different ways.
One of those ways is making music.
Through the music you can express yourself and your emotions very well.

Musical Balance
I am a mediocre guitarist or in other words my play is of an average level.
With mediocre I mean that I don’t have the skills and techniques of genuine guitar hero’s from the pop- , rock-, or classical-guitar music scene who have my utmost admiration .
I shall mention some examples and names later on.
I don’t think that it matters in my case, because I am not a classical concert-guitarist or otherwise.
I use the guitar only to accompany myself while singing.
That’s what it aims at, it serves to play the instrumental melody I create when making a song.
I’m a singer-songwriter and no more than that.
But I do try to develop and maintain a certain quality in my guitar-play.
Music is Feelings
My personal thoughts on making music
It is the essence, the heart, the core of (making) music.
