Expressing your thoughts through the guitar

I have been playing the guitar for a number of years now and I have found learning to play the guitar has been one of the best things that I have ever done.

Being brought up in a culture where men where not encouraged to show or express their feelings was challenging, and as I grew older I found that I needed a way to channel my feelings. So as a late teen I decided to learn the guitar.

When I first started my finger would ache and I would keep breaking strings from strumming too hard, but none the less I eventually mastered my 1st Nirvana song.

After moving through the Smashing Pumpkins phrases I began to start trying to write my on songs and surprisingly I was able to come up with a few original sounds and composed my very on songs.

The best part about learning the guitar for me was thart I was able to express what I felt by translating this through my guitar. And in a world that continually sends you messages that you need to look like Brad Pitt and be as cool as John Wayne, it can be confusing. However I found the true me when I would get lost in my guitar.

I first started taking guitar lessons in New York and when moved to Australia I mucked around for a while and eventually started taking guitar lessons in Sydney where I live today.

The biggest challenge I faced with becoming a confident guitar player was that I struggled to be consistent with my lessons. Moving around a lot as a child and teenages with my family played a role in this. However then I discovered learning the guitar online and a whole new world opened up to me. The great thing about learning the guitar online is that you can take lessons when and where you like and the best part is that you only pay once!

I encourgae anyone play an instrument and also to consider online courses as they work and save you a lot of cash!
