Dingdong Dantes uses quarantine time to learn how to play the guitar

Dingdong Dantes is making the most of the quarantine period to learn how to play the guitar.

On Instagram, the Kapuso Primetime King posted photos of himself taken by his wife Marian Rivera where he's seen comfortably sitting at home as he played the instrument.

"I was a drummer of an amateur rock band whose only claim to fame was winning first runner up in the school’s '94 Battle Of The Bands. Second out of only 2 participating groups!" Dingdong shared.

Back in grade school, i was a drummer of an amateur rock band whose only claim to fame was winning first runner up in the school’s ‘94 Battle Of The Bands. Second out of only 2 participating groups! ???? Since then, I’ve always wanted to learn how to play a whole song on guitar. The farthest i’ve reached was learning 3 chords— G, D and A, mula pa sa kabanda kong magaling mag gitara. I had given up on that dream not until i saw the post of @kuyakim_atienza wanting to learn the instrument during this ECQ. So ayun, kailan pa ba ako matututo kundi ngayon?! I am grateful to my friend (and grade school classmate) for hooking me up with one of their stocks! Mabuti na lang at may on-line tutorials din for beginners like me. First on the list is for my little Buddy’s celebration this coming Thursday— ang napakahirap at napakalupet na Happy Birthday song.???? Ikaw, ano request mo?

The "Descendants of the Sun" star said he wanted to learn how to play a whole song on the guitar back then but the farthest he has reached "was learning 3 chords— G, D and A, mula pa sa kabanda kong magaling mag gitara."

He said he had given up on that dream until he saw Kuya Kim Atienza wanting to learn an instrument during the enhanced community quarantine.

Now, Big Boss is on a mission to learn a very special song for his son Baby Sixto, who is turning one this week.
