I’ve always been wanting to be able to play a guitar since forever but I hadn’t been able to do so. I had 3 guitar classes in the past but it never worked out. The training was really tough and boring. Each class took me about 3 moths but after those classes I couldn’t even play a song. They all started from the very basic and theoretical lessons (the old way) which I now realized they weren’t suitable for me because I didn’t intent to play in a band anyways.

Recently, while thinking of something to fill up my free time (weekends, of course) I suddenly thought about learning a guitar. I was really hesitant at first because I failed three times already but then I though hey if I wasn’t determined enough to pick up what I really like, what else can I do. If I don’t have “the talent” I just need to try harder. I borrowed a guitar from my flatmate and went online looking for some tutorials and inspirations to get myself started. A week after that, I bought my own one

It’s been a month or so since I started learning to play a guitar. Now I can play 2 songs (”Everything I do” by Bryan Adams and “You and me” by Lifehouse). Oh, when I said “I can play 2 songs” it doesn’t mean that I can play them smoothly and I can play in front of the other people heheh. My strumming is still quite jumpy and chord progression is still slow. However, I would say the progress has been quite good considering it has been only a month and I don’t have much time to practice.

Some advices, don’t give up on what you love. If you find the process of getting there doesn’t work, there must be something wrong in the process. So, change your way of thinking, learning process/method and seek some inspirations. FYI, writing this post is part of my inspiration boosting
