One of my favorite things is teaching myself how to play the guitar; I started when I was ten. I love playing and teaching my family.
Playing guitar is one of the main ways I relax when I’m stressed or annoyed. I have been playing my heart out for several months and have greatly improved.
I am teaching myself to play five songs on a beginner acoustic guitar. In order, they are:
- I Wanna Be There – by Blessed Union of Souls
- Love Me Do – by the Beatles
- What’s Up – by the 4 Non-Blondes
- Happy Birthday
- Every Breath You Take – by the Police
When I play guitar, it makes my uneasy emotions melt away. Let’s say I am feeling sad; I would strum lightly, and if I were feeling mad, I would strum harder than usual.
Playing guitar makes me feel more happy.

That is so great that you have found something that you love so much and helps you relax! How do you teach yourself? Do you use books, videos or another method?
Hi Mrs. Lear, thank you for commenting. I appreciate you. For your question on how I taught myself, I mostly watched videos. I also used books a little.
