My guitar. Music has always been an important part of my life. I love music. It’s helped me in so many ways. My guitar helps me express myself even more, especially when it gets late at night, and I play for hours. I’ve been playing for almost 3 years now, and I’m still constantly improving. I started playing guitar around April of 2022. I started with acoustic guitar. It was a very cheap and rickety guitar, but I still have it. There are many dents and scratches, strings that need replacement, and other repairs. When I first started playing it, I decided to learn a really challenging song for a beginner. This has helped me so much in the long run. It’s the main reason why I got as far as I did. I don’t play my acoustic much anymore, ever since I got an electric guitar during Christmas of 2022. When I first started playing the electric guitar, I was awful. I didn’t know how to mute strings properly. There was a lot of feedback coming from my amp. It took a while to get used to but I eventually got the hang of it. This shows my strength in learning. When I put in as much effort as I did, I can achieve a lot more. I’m starting to get into faster solos, and I’ve been very successful day by day. It represents my growth and my character, and I’m really proud of myself about the project.
