I began playing the guitar when I was 8 years old
It was always something I wanted to learn
I just thought it was SO COOL!
Once I started though
I learned that playing the guitar was not a simple endeavor whatsoever!
Holding the pressure on really...really thin strings
With, at the time, my extremely soft fingers
Was so painful!
They would get so callaced and even bleed during that first year!
It was unbearable pain!
The worst part...
I didn't even sound decent yet!
It killed me...hearing great players like my instrustor all the time
Just nailing stuff!
And I was just sitting there, barely even being able to play the basic chords!
And I was still in all that pain!
There were times where I considered giving up all together
But then I realized...I had to persevere!
I've always had a sense of optimism
That's really driven me through both life, and in this case, guitar
I knew that I had to have self-confidence and I had to believe in myself
That I could really, one day, maybe actually do this!
Music has always been a huge passion in my life...and guitar was something that I loved doing
And I really wanted to give it a go!
And I knew that this was going to be a huge struggle
So I had to be tenacious with it
And really, no matter what obstacle I had coming up against me
Whether it be pain or anything...
I just had to be brave and push right through!
Well, I ended up sticking with guitar...and I've been playing for almost eight full years now!
That's actually pretty crazy when I think about it!
Fun Little Fact...
I'm actually playing this background track right now!
I've been performing with it for so many years now
I've performed with my mom...
I've performed in Talent Shows...
On stage with it...
I've just had an amazing time with guitar!
Heck! I've even made money from it!
Like I Said...
It really shapes who I am as a person
And how did I manage to get where I am right now?
I had to persevere!
What's Up Universe?!?
