People may think that 'Why would a girl choose to play the guitar even though it'll harden their fingertips as they press the steel strings while playing?' and 'Why would a girl sacrifice her beauty over some simple instrument?'. But all I know is that I am one of the girls and I don't sacrifice beauty over some simple instrument. I play it with love and sincerity in my soul and mind.
Guitar has been a part of my life for about four and a half years now and I still love playing it no matter what. Inspired by guitarists like Sungha Jung, Taylor Swift and Trace Bundy who played it amazingly made me the person I am today who is always motivated to learn new chords and strumming styles I've never seen nor heard of before. As I run my fingers through those strings, the harmony and its serenity filled me with completion of peacefulness and I never got bored of it; even now.
It may harden the tip of my fingers but that is what made my confidence level to fly up higher than I was in the past. The hardened fingertips made me happy as I know that I've learned something new and I've been working hard on honing my skills the past few years now. I've never regretted playing it and I'll never regret it even in the future.
Girls can play the guitar all they want if they love it. It doesn't matter what instruments they want to play, from drums to harmonicas to electric guitars. They are all instruments that can be played by any gender and they can even be a professional in the future if they want to. Nobody can stop them from learning and playing an instrument that is rarely played by their own gender. In fact, they'll look even more cooler playing it; being a girl who plays the instrument that has been played majority by boys.
So girls and boys out there, you can play any instrument you want as long as you are dedicated and motivated and also, of course inspired to play it with love and sincerity in your heart, mind and soul. Be different as what I would say and be the one to show everybody how you can play well in that instrument through hours of practices and classes you go to!
P.S. It's my guitar with Sungha Jung's and Agustin Amigo's signature and also a Marshall amplifier I gotten from great friends. ;)
In conclusion, nobody can stop me from playing the guitar - the instrument that I will love playing it forever more than any other instruments in the world!
