Five reasons to start playing guitar today
Unravel your favourite music
It's great to be a fan of your favourite bands, to go to concerts, support them and empathise with their emotion. The only thing greater is to understand how the magic of music happens. To take the riffs and solos into your own hands. To explore each chord, each progression and explain to yourself what made a piece a worldwide hit or why exactly it moved you. It's a thrilling experience that will take you behind the scenes of great music, and who knows, it might inspire you to create your own pieces.
Music can be your confession
For many people, music, like art, is just a hobby, but playing an instrument, besides being a great skill, can be your confession. Why not a future career field? Music is one of the most sincere pathways to our inner world. It gives us the opportunity to share with the world all that we harbour within ourselves and to translate it into a language that knows no borders or nationalities. Regardless of the success one sets out to achieve as a musician, one thing is certain - the satisfaction of the creative process and sharing it with the world is a priceless experience that few professions (or hobbies) can offer.
For even more new skills
Music lessons teach us many things that make us better in other, sometimes unsuspected ways. To become a good guitarist requires a lot of concentration, discipline, passion and good physical shape. To play well you need to be patient, be able to listen critically and have an analytical mind. Each of these things will not only improve your skill with the instrument, but will also dramatically affect the way you live, work, communicate and perceive the rest of the world.
Healthy riff, healthy body
We've said many times that playing a musical instrument requires good physical conditioning. To be able to play guitar well for many years, we need to have not only the right grip and fingering, but also the right posture. A perfect guitar performance is the result not only of memorizing pieces by ear or by reading music, but the result of mastering fine motor skills of the fingers, perfect coordination and not a little physical endurance. If you've wondered how your favorite guitarists play the pieces like deities while rolling from one end of the stage to the other - the answer is with lots of practice.
Music for more genuine communication
In a world that tries to make us communicate only through screens, music is a universal language through which we expand our horizons because it introduces us to artists and creators of all ages, with different ideas, goals and approaches. Music puts us in different situations where we learn to communicate more fully with the people around us, whether it's teachers, the musicians in the opening band, the sound guy in the club, the concert organizers, or journalists and fans. Confidence and meaningful communication are often overlooked qualities that reflect positively on other aspects of our lives.
We hope you've convinced yourself that it's time to make your dream come true and grab your guitar. There is no right age for music, but don't wonder anymore anyway. Start now and don't put off the most exciting journey you can embark on. If you have any questions - you know where to find us!
