Aaron D.

I reside in Saline, Michigan at the present time.

My real name is Aaron Dondineau.

I go by the name of Raum Gudney.

My Birthday is February 7, 1978.

I grew up in Kinde, Michigan the early years of my life.

Growing up on a farm was not fun most of the time.

I am not going to give you a sob story.

But most of my life has been a struggle.

I have a lot of resentment towards people.

In my family and I never dealt with it the right way.

I am doing my best to deal with my problems.

I have cut myself off from many people.

That I knew for many years.

I have gotten to the point were I do not want to.

Fight and argue with people on a daily basis anymore.

Nothing good comes from it.

It is a destructive lifestyle.

That I do not want to live anymore.

I am very different from other people in my family.

So I am the outcast or the so-called black sheep.

My life has changed for the better.

But I keep getting reminded off the past from many people.

I am fortunate to have some positive and supportive friends.

My loving wife Jeana and these people.

Have always been there for me.

I met Jeana on August 26, 1999.

We got married August 26, 2005.

Music is a big part of my life.

I enjoy all kinds of genres and styles of music.

I know most of us have a dark past.

And many things that we want to forget.

My advice is try to live in the now.

If we live in the past we cannot look towards the future.


Love Don't Hate!

Deep down we are all brothers and sisters.

Despite our religious or cultural beliefs.


I have been playing guitar for almost 5 years now.

I have had many guitar teachers.

Learning all you can is a hard task to accomplish.

There are so many things to learn about music.

Topics range from Music theory, Notation, Chords, Scales ECT.

Like how to hold you pick and the basics of guitar playing.

I have since started to study music theory.

Many people have told me.

Well that sounds good or that is a cool riff.

How ever you must learn the basics.

Or you will never master your craft.

Why are you even playing guitar.

I took offense to what they said.

But now I understand what they mean.

It does not matter you choice of instrument.

Electric Guitar, Acoustic Guitar, Classical Guitar

Sitar, Drums, Banjo, Harmonica, Keyboard or Piano.

I believe the guitar is an extension of my soul.

I have learned much in my musical journey.

But yet I have a long way to go.

But the meaning of learning your craft.

Or mastering your craft has many different meanings for all of us.

For me it means having a good understanding of music theory.

And being able to explain it and understand it.

Just like tying my shoes without even thinking about it.

But it also much more than music theory.

I have a passion for music.

I could not imagine a world without music.

I have played guitar for hours until my fingertips bleed.

As well as I know many people have.

I have racked my brain for the perfect song.

I believe as musicians we all should learn.

The basics of music theory and beyond.

It all starts with the staff or stave.

One thing I have not forgot to do.

Even though I write songs and lyrics.

Is to be a listener of many style and genres of music.

Knowledge Is Power
