Ever since I can remember, I have always wanted to play guitar. I have always been interested in music , ever since I heard the beautiful music by Chuck Berry, John Petrucci and many more… Their playing style has just inspired me. I thought that, if I learned to play guitar, than I would be just like them and would be able to play those incredible songs.
When I saw people playing the instrument it looked so easy as if the music was coming from within and the fingers were automatically moving with such velocity but all the notes were crystal clear and distinguishable nonetheless.
I thought to myself how hard could that be because I never noticed even a hint of frustration on their faces it just looked so effortless.. all I saw was plain happiness almost as if it was relaxing for them..
When I myself started learning how to play guitar is when I realised how tough it actually was and how much effort and training it needed..at first i just learnt how to play songs that I liked but when I started learning how to read music it went completely over my head in the beginning.
As the level increases the more practice I require and quite honestly I’m not able to give it the amount of time it actually needs for me to become A professional guitarist by a long shot.
But The one thing Ive realised is that with time anything you start gets easier , and day by day you get a little better at what you’re doing no matter what it is.. so it’s never a waste of time and there is absolutely nothing to lose in trying new things even if they’re out of your comfort zone or your time table.
They widen the horizon of your mind , give you some additional knowledge which is out of your academic course and out of the necessary things everyone your age is doing .
It just makes you a little different and adds to your personality.
Learning how to play guitar has added to the number of languages i can read and understand now.. so when I listen to music it’s almost as if I can Distinguish each note and actually understand it .I can just imagine how it would have been played, how tough it would have been and relate to what I hear.so now when I see professional guitarists no matter how relaxed they look or how effortlessly they’re playing I can clearly see the amount of hard work they must have put into it to come to that level.
By learning to play guitar, I acquired so many new talents. From learning to keep on trying until my accomplishments are met, to taking my own initiative to learn and understand new subjects, and to keep on playing no matter what.
