For Sam, it happens when he …
For a lot of my friends, it’s when our shift at Wal-Mart is over and we’re exhausted, but we know we’ve just earned $48.00 before taxes, for a full days work.
Or when a pretty customer smiles at us.
What’s the most awesome feeling for you?
Riding my unicycle!
Wow! I’d like to try your unicycle.
Do you think it might feel as good riding SOMEONE ELSE’S unicycle?
My wife kicks your ass pulling in $70 before taxes for a full days work at B&N.
Pulling off Blackberry Blossom at 170bpm on my guitar, not someone elses. And no, you can’t play my guitar.
When my daughter thinks something I said or did is cool.
Unicycling’s great definitely haha! I just pulled off a 180 seat out jump mount and it’s an amazing feeling. The shin whack when I tried it again was a pretty amazing feeling too actually…
when i jump onto a bench with out hurting myself with my unicycle

Never heard of Blackberry Blossom before, so I had to look it up. Heard an Irish version. Excellent stuff, and it sounds pretty damn difficult. I am impressed. Makes me wish I had not sold my guitar about ten years ago.
How about a recording for us?

Naomi,
I recently, about 2 months ago, purchased a microphone and downloaded some recording software. I excitedly recorded myself playing a few songs and was so dismayed by my playing that I couldn’t bring myself to record again. My wife and daughter assure me that I sound good, but it was shit to me.
I do intend to try again in a while, but not yet. I’m working on a basic tab of Bach’s Bouree in E Minor (the one Jethro Tull did) which I’m hoping by Christmastime to have down. And my teacher and I have been working through Blackberry Blossom together and one of these days I’ll record that too.
I’m not a seasoned enough player so that you can show me some music and I can play it right off. I need to work on things for a while before I can get it down. And, most frustrating, I haven’t found anyone to play with regularly so I really suck at keeping time with more than just myself.
Are you a fan of bluegrass or old time music?
Is keeping time with yourself really keeping time? Maybe a metronome would help. Or play along with tracks of your instructor or a track of the music you are trying to play.
For me it’s learning some psychomotor skills.
I remember when I was learning to ice-skate – I had such a great euphoric feeling when I learned backward crossovers.
Also when skiing – doing looong high speed fun-carves on a wide slope is totally mind-boggling; after a few turns I have to stop, breathe deeply for a while and wait a moment for an adrenaline level to drop a bit 
Then again, running about 10km without any stops is also a memorable feeling.
And do I really have to mention here riding first 50m on a unicycle… ?

p.s.
I almost forgot… walking around the city after 36h without a sleep… It’s totally eerie feeling, and I mean it. You see hobbits crossing the streets, you have flashbacks, momentary lapses of consciousness, etc…
Running, while in the zooone. Like when I can keep running for ever and ever without getting tired. It’s pretty awesome.
And Runners High.
It’s in G major, not E minor. I know they are relative, but it’s a major piece.
I’m sorry, I just had to say this, it’s one of my favourite pieces to play. I haven’t tried the basic tab, I play the classical guitar version. Good luck with it. It’s awesome once you have it down. My advice is start off really really slow and speed up by 8 beats or so when you feel you can play the part perfectly. And definetely use a metronome.
My amasing feeling is when I do something cool on a uni very well or when I’m playing a piece on the guitar perfectly(or nearly perfectly). I’ve got loads of other feelings as well.
Oh, yeah. Also when I’m listening to some music that I really love it just kills me sometimes.
I do practice regularly with a metronome and sometimes with CDs of the music I’m working on. That helps, but I’ve got a ways to go. 
Health insurance too?
Nah.
I am disinclined to question a classical player, but I have always seen it listed as being in E Minor.
Thanks. The tab is just that, notation for those who don’t read standard notation. It’s still the same classical piece and I try to throw in a trill here and there when I can; my pinky needs the work.
Just hearing the word ‘Awesome’ sends chills of excitement up and down my spine.
Awesome.
AWESOME
Anyways, for me it has to be when I am with Sera, thats the best. Another things is when you ride down a long set of stairs, like 20 something, once I hit the bottom I always get a nice rush.
