PART B EXAMPLE:


My Pastime:
My pastime is playing guitar. I first began playing guitar at the age of 13 when I took some basic lessons at school. I then progressed to teaching myself over the years, because as a guitar player you never stop learning your skill. I currently own 18 different guitars and have played in numerous bands along with being involved in many studio recordings.
Website 1:
The Official Steve Vai Website
