For most of the young people would love to play a musical instrument, especially young people who like the guitar. Music itself is the science or art of arranging tones or sounds in sequences, combinations and temporal relationships to produce a sound that has unity.

The instrument that I often play is the guitar. The first time I liked the guitar was because when I was a child, I saw a street singer who performed a song from the band Avenged Sevenfold entitled 'Dear God'.

Since then I often listen to the song and feel like I can sing while playing a musical instrument, namely the guitar. So I decided to buy my first guitar in 2016, yes it's been a long time and this is my first guitar I bought that time.

In 2016 I bought this Yamaha G-555 brand guitar at a price of $ 40, I bought this guitar accompanied by my friend who already knows a lot about guitar, after that I also learned from my friend.

What I like about this guitar is that the sound is quite pleasant to listen to even though it is still a standard guitar, of course because I was just learning at the time and I didn't dare to buy an expensive guitar.

I learned the basic chords and when I was fluent in playing the basic chords I learned the next step until I could and so on like that.

My new guitar is broken

As time went on I was able to play the guitar enough, last month I decided to buy a new guitar. This is a homemade cartecius guitar that I bought from a friend of mine. Although this guitar is second hand but I really like the sound of this guitar, and I bought this guitar for $50 from a friend of mine.

However, there was an incident that made me a little annoyed with the guitar I just bought, when I tuned this guitar and turned the guitar tuning head, I broke the gear in the guitar tuning head.

Maybe it's because I tuned it too tight or if the gear of the guitar was flimsy I don't know either, but I tuned it to the standard because I used a tool to tune the guitar.

But it doesn't matter, it's just that I have to replace it with a new tuning head and I have to buy the same model.

So in conclusion I didn't think this would happen, but I came to understand that my first guitar that I bought in 2016 was still intact and the guitar I just bought from my friend was damaged, maybe due to lack of maintenance from my garden. Or maybe I'm the unlucky one with this guitar.

This incident can be a lesson for me if we want good stuff doesn't mean we have to get it cheaply. I think it's better to buy a new one even though the price is a bit expensive.
