I see.
Japanese people would say “white hair”.
We don’t say “grey” when our hair got changed the color due to stress, and I didn’t know you say it “grey”, so I needed asking. Thanks!

You must be a very good son of her.

Hi.
Would you correct my English, please?


"My Guitar"

My guitar is Gibson LesPoul Custom. It’s been broken. It doesn’t make sound. I think it might due to some disconnecting. So I brought it to a guitar repair shop today. They didn’t say how many days they need to repair it. I don’t have a guitar to play now!!

Speaking of a guitar, I used to have electric guitar lessons and the teacher was very good. I have met two great teachers and he is one of them.
The most impressive words he said was, “I don’t judge students’ or other people’s performance negatively.”
Actually, he had never said “No,” even I played badly. Even I tried strange ways, he didn’t say “No” or “It’s impossible.” I was very happy and enjoyed liberty in the class.
What a fond memory! I wish I could play my guitar just now!!
Thank you!

Gladly, my English is impeccable.
(I'll also brush up your grammar, is places, okay?)
(And I'll bold the changes I make, so you can see them.)

Some of these changes just make it read nicer (and keep your intended message intact), some of them are grammatical niggles that I decided to correct.
^//^; sorry.

The most impressive words(i would say thing) he said was, “I don’t judge students’ or other people’s performance negatively.”
Actually, he had never said “No,” even if I played badly. Even I tried strange (the word weird would be a better choice)ways, he didn’t say “No” or “It’s impossible.” I was very happy and enjoyed liberty in the class.(jenjoyed the freedom or maybe enjoyed the class))

Just a few things here and there but other than that. It was good.

Hi, sycayersou.
Thank you very much!
I've studied English grammar when I was a student, but I still make many mistakes.
Your corrections are very helpful. Thanks!

Hi, Yuusuke.
Thanks a lot!
“The most impressive thing”, “weird ways” and "enjoy freedom”. I see. There are many things I don’t know. I referred to a dictionary when I wrote the composition, but still there are many unnatural expressions. Thanks for helping!

Another revision to add to your knowledge, Yuri. I don't play the guitar myself, but I definitely enjoy guitar-driven rock.

Have a great day, Yuri!

Everyone elses' corrections are good, too.
(It's just bugging me where they're not switching that one full stop to a comma.

I'm such a little grammarnazi)
