Learning how to play guitar was by all means not easy at all. The first thing I had to learn was how to read sheet music, and with that, learn music theory. At first, I could not understand how to read sheet music, as it was my first time playing an instrument. It took me countless times to memorize each note for each string and for each fret. Plus, I also had to know how to associate each note on paper for each note on my guitar. As well, I had to learn how to keep in tempo to the beat of each song I was learning at the time, my teacher often was disappointed in me, because I would not keep tempo which made the song sound completely wrong. This made me practice even more vigorously to correct my mistakes.
