Orion Hudson Interviews Alec Moreland
Are you aware that Mount View High has a guitar class where you can learn the basics of guitar? I am in that class this semester, and it is a fun and good class. If you are interested in guitar, go talk to Mr. Davenport and see if it might be for you. Don’t just take my word for it, though. Below are two interviews with classmates so that you can see inside the mind of an up-and-coming guitarist.
First, I interviewed Guitar student Alec Moreland.
Me: How long have you been playing guitar?
Alec: About a Year.
Me: What or who got you into guitar?
Alec: My great-grandfather
Me: What is your favorite genre to play on guitar?
Alec: Country
Me: What is your favorite genre of music?
Alec: Probably classical or smooth jazz.
Me: Who is your favorite band?
Alec: Florida Georgia Line.
Me: Have you ever thought about joining a band?
Alec: I’ve thought about it; I just don’t know who I’d get to play the other instruments.
Me: Do you have future plans for guitar?
Alec: Yeah, play in my off time, maybe make a little extra cash.
Me: Do you plan on making your own music?
Alec: Yes, I’ve already got some written down.
Alec could possibly be an up-and-coming music artist. How about you?
Later, I interviewed another one of my guitar classmates so that you can get into the mindset of a future guitarist. Their name is Skylar Whittington.

Skylar: No favorite band.
Me: Have you ever thought about joining a band?
