I'd love to play again `11.27.22` Listening to music never fails to make things better for me. Music is my happy pill whether I feel happy, sad, troubled, sick, or tired of this world. Not only music makes me feel better but I used to play guitar to make things even better. I used to be a person or a teenage girl who doesn't know how to express my feelings and learning how to play guitar and playing one has been my outlet for feelings.

I can still remember when my father used to force me to learn how to play guitar. I was in 6th grade when he insists that I should learn at least one instrument to play. I even tried to learn how to play a flute, recorder, or piccolo he got from somewhere. He let me learn it on my own and I got tired because he didn't even teach me how, so I stopped. Then when I got into 2nd year of high school, I had a girl classmate (a transferee) who plays guitar. Damn, I thought she was really good and I got insecure. I suddenly had the urge to learn how to play. I had to. I knew I can be as good as her, until one day I did know how to play guitar. I was one of the girls in the school who plays guitar, not like a newbie. From that moment, I used to strum and learn new songs whenever I get home from school. My mother even scolded me every time she heard me playing in the room because I haven't done my homework yet.

The only thing that I hate when I play guitar is my hands get sweaty, and it drops from my hands when I play. Imagine seeing drops of water on the floor after a song, if I play 5 songs it'll look like water spilled there. UGH The guitar is the only musical instrument that I can play decently, it has become my favorite. I'd still prefer playing acoustic guitar to an electric guitar. I didn't get the chance to learn how to play an electric guitar when it comes to sound effects like pedals and other things. Even if I don't have that superb skills in playing guitar, I at least know how to play a song decently. I learned how to pluck, play power chords, read tabs, tune by ear (which I still have a hard time with, especially in noisy places), and a little bit of transposing chords. I can I am on the advanced skill but I didn't get further than that haha! I simply lacked the time to play, learn and step up my guitar skills. On a side note. Remember the transferee girl that plays guitar when I was in high school? After being insecure about how good she plays and sings, she even taught me more about playing guitar. Even invited me to play with his former schoolmates/bandmates. Suddenly, my insecurity about her skills became my inspiration and motivation. It made my heart so happy, that she didn't laugh at my skills but instead helped me get better. I miss playing guitar though... I wanted to share a clip of me playing guitar but it's not supported. I hope that Lil B learns how to play guitar when she already can.
