He Wants to Teach Himself How to Play the Guitar

Music has always been a great passion for many people around the world. There are those who love to listen to music, and others who love to create a melody of their own. Among these music enthusiasts, guitar players are among the most popular.

The sound of the guitar is not only unique but also alluring. As such, it is no wonder that many people desire to learn how to play it. However, not every individual has the time or resources to visit a music school or hire a personal guitar tutor. Fortunately, such problems are not a hindrance in achieving this dream in the modern era of technology.

One person who shares such an aspiration is my friend, Tom. For at least three years, Tom has admired and worshiped famous guitar players and their skills. He has always desired to acquire these skills and play the guitar like a pro. Yet, he has never enrolled in any guitar classes and his father was never interested in helping Tom in his musical interests.

Tom hardly considers himself gifted in this area but is determined to learn how to play the instrument. Tom’s current options are to teach himself how to play the guitar, or continue to merely admire its sound and absence from his life. So far, he has chosen the first option.

Tom is aware that teaching himself to the guitar requires effort, patience, and persistence. It also requires developing good habits early on, such as proper hand and finger placement, maintaining strumming patterns, and learning to read music. However, Tom is determined and motivated by the challenge of learning it and the desire to be able to play his favorite songs by himself.

To start his learning, Tom began by purchasing his own guitar. He also downloaded several guitar tutorial apps on his phone and started following some beginner’s lessons on these platforms. Furthermore, he enrolled in some online free lessons to increase his knowledge and improve his playing techniques.

Of course, there are challenges to Tommy’s independent learning method. Without an experienced guitar teacher, he has nobody to monitor his progress or provide valuable feedback. Additionally, practicing every day may feel tedious for some beginning learners and lack the structure of a formal music lesson plan. Tom acknowledges these issues too.

Despite the challenges, Tommy persists in learning the guitar. He acknowledges that the journey may be difficult and frustrating at times, but he is determined to impress himself and others by mastering the skill. Tom is not giving up and is set to put in the hard work and effort required to learn how to play the guitar.

In conclusion, Tom’s journey to learn how to play the guitar is an inspiration. It shows that with hard work, persistence, and a lot of motivation, anything is possible. Whether you are learning on your own or with a music teacher, the key thing is to remain committed to your goal and keep practicing until you achieve success.
