Beauty and the beats

 playing guitar is the only instrument I pursued and I loved doing it for the past few years, I know how to play kalimba and piano too but just the basics. Playing guitar is one of my favorite things to do. When I first started learning, it was a bit challenging to get the hang of the chords and strumming patterns, it hurt me a lot especially when there were barre chords on the song I wanted to play.

but as I practiced more, I began to improve and it became really fun. Now, whenever I have some free time and want to do something really fun, I like to pick up my guitar and play some of my favorite songs. Oh, and for your information, I still struggle to learn new songs haha, especially when it's plucking or fingerstyle, still a beginner after 4 years. But trust me I know many songs!!! 

I can do plucking and fingerstyle too and can sing, don't judge the book by its cover you know.

I even bought a new electric guitar last year and I barely touched it. I'm just like just displaying it at the moment because I don't have time to play right now because of the heat! It's so hot in the Philippines, I know you guys know how hot it is right now!

Playing guitar is also a great way for me to relax and take a break from everything. It feels good to just lose myself in the beat of the music. It gives me peace to play guitars except for the part that I'm struggling to practice haha. Sometimes, I even try writing my songs. It's a cool way to express myself and see what I can come up with. I even have a song called "Late Night" but I just kept it to myself and then one time I didn't even notice that I'd lost it.

I enjoy playing guitar alone in a quiet place like on the beach with family while watching the sun go down, but it’s also fun to jam with friends and family. When we get together and play music, it's really exciting to see how we can all contribute different parts to a song. It's a great way to connect with people who share the same interests. In our family, we always jam together whenever we have a party going on.

When I learn a new song or a new technique, it feels everything and like a reward. I'm always excited to share what I've learned with other people, maybe through a different events or by just playing for my loved ones. 

Overall, playing guitar is a big part of my life and will always be, I love music so much and instruments I swear! Well, it's not just about the music; it's about the challenge, the expression, and the joy it brings. Whether I'm playing by myself or with friends, it's always a good time and I love it.
