Playing the guitar

[beautifullybree]

I truly can't wait to experience the therapy behind this. I own a guitar and have been watching YouTube videos to get an idea on how to play. I haven't figured out how to make sure its tuned, but am learning the pieces of the guitar and how to hold it. I know I can do it and have a lot of faith in myself. I hope I can play it well, because I love to write my own songs.

Don't own a guitar but I play the ukulele. I have tried playing the guitar before but I found the ukulele was easier. Sometimes I pick up my mom's guitar now and try to teach myself some chords since it's easier now that I know how to play the ukulele. It was a good stepping stone instrument.

Yes, playing the guitar is certainly very relaxing. I can play the guitar but not very much. I play the harmonica more often. My father also plays the harmonica. I learned how to play from my father. When I play the harmonica, I would close my eyes and lose myself in the music. I enter a different world, made up only of melodious sounds. It's so wonderful.

I wish I could play the guitar; a lot of my friends can. I play the violin. I took lessons as a teenager and I just picked it up again this year. I'm not that great, but playing helps me relax. Learning again is a therapy for me also- it tells me that I may not be perfect, or sometimes even good with my instrument, but I'm learning and it's okay to make mistakes and to have good and bad days. It teaches me patience and persistence, and to not be so hard on myself.

I do not personally play the guitar. I cant focus on a task long enough to learn. It could also be because playing the guitar is a hobby for you. Just like with others, whose hobby may be writing, drawing, painting, working out, cooking, etc... When they do these things, it calms them and gives them a relaxed feeling.
