TeeHee >< (Not a post about teehee, its about my guitar and my inability to play it)

I don't know what to put as the post title so I just put that. TeeHee is an expression made famous by Ryan Higa, a comedian on youtube.  Meaning: Act of joyful giggling.


Actually that is NOT what I'm gonna blog today. Maybe next time but not today. On my birthday last July, my dad bought me a guitar. "Cool! A guitar?" you ask. I was like "Okay, this is cool" but there's one teeny tiny little problem. I DONT KNOW HOW TO PLAY GUITAR. Yeah, that's the whole point of buying it right? So that you can learn. That's what I thought. So the next day I went to MPH bookstore to buy myself a "How To Play Guitar" book. Heres what happened:


Me: Yay, I'm earning how play a new instrument !*opens book*

... 1000 seconds later...

Me: This is hard ><. Maybe if I practice I'll be good at it. 

...the next day...

Me: *practicing till fingers look like french fries*

...the day after that...

Me: @.@ *gives up hope for now*

Hey, I'm not a quitter okay! In my defense, learning guitar is a LOT harder than piano. A LOT. Sometimes I'm amazed at how those other kids just simply 'pick up' a guitar and learn how to play. I salute you guys man.  Why say guitar is harder than piano? First, I'm left-handed. So there is a kind of learning difficulty there. But there are lefties that are really good at guitars Justin Bieber. They are famous too Justin Bieber. They make lots of $ too Justin Bieber. Second, in piano, the sheet music is fairly simple. It shows what note to play and how long do you play it. No memorizing anything (well just the chords, what notes has sharp or flat notes). If the sheets ask you to play E, you play E. Thats it. Guitar on the other hand has chords. E major, C major to name a few. And those triads stuff. And strumming techniques. Thats too much to remember man.

its fairly simple. Just press.

Guitar chords! Guaranteed to make french-fry looking fingers at the end of the day!

Okay to be honest I'm not a maestro at piano. I just play it. I didn't go to piano lessons. My sister does. I have a piano at home. Not trying to play it is just like buying first class tickets to Seoul and not use it. Its just stupid. (ironic huh?)


Maybe I'll just start playing guitar next year or something. In the meantime, my 6-stringed piece of acoustic musical instrument would just stay in my room and collect dust. Heck, it still has a ribbon on it! HAHA

Just sittin' there collecting dust.

It still has a ribbon attached 

If you look closely there's dust. 

Taking a breath of fresh air. :D

To all people who can play this instrument I envy you. Haha. I wish I can play but I'm too lazy to try. Like I say, maybe next year. When I finally know how to play a song you my readers are first to know and listen (warning: use of earplugs may be needed)
