When I was in Grade 7, I wanted to learn playing instruments, especially the guitar. This skill caught my attention because I think it is cool to play and have the guitar in your hands. Being a singer at a very young age added more urge to this attention. On those days, I think everyone will like and praise me if I had a talent of playing a guitar. Another reason why I want to learn this skill is because my father also plays a guitar very well. Different sounds were produced when he starts to strum the guitar strings. There are also different kind of techniques used to play a guitar and one of this is the fingerstyle which is eventually one of the hardest style to play a guitar. In this very young age, my father assisted me simply by teaching me the basic chords ( D, A, Em, G). At first, it is very hard for me to reach the strings and my hands can feel the pain. But I have this courage to play the guitar everyday just to have the right placement of my fingers so that it will produce a good sound. I was very happy back then when I learned how to play the basic chords. When I have learned it well, I watched a tutorial from YouTube and also used applications who can taught me how to do the other chords. When I was in Grade 10, I had a boyfriend who was good in playing this instrument. He also encouraged me to learn more. In this age, I was so stubborn and always complaining saying , "Im tired, I can't do it right" but then he's always telling me that practicing it well will make it perfect. Even though we had a long distance relationship back then, he was always there to support and encourage me, to always do my best in everything and that words boost my self trust and esteem to learn this skill.
