So this is basicly what happend when I kept trying to start to play guitar...

When I was 12 I really wanted to play guitar so I bought a guitar and I started lessons. Though I only had a month of lessons since all my teacher would do was yell at me and he said it wasn't possible I could suck so much. He even yelled at me for missing a week because my mom was in the hospital. So I quit and I was very discouraged. Then when I was 13 I tryed again but that year went pretty bad and I was busy worrying about things and dealing with things so much I didn't have much time left to play guitar. I kept being discouaged so often that I decided not to play but it didn't work. I was drawn to guitar so much I couldn't stay away so I somehow kept picking it up and playing but that didn't last long either. Whenever my older brother heard me playing he'd turn it off and wouldn't stop insulting me until I stopped playing guitar. Plus he had gotten some bad anger issues that year so I never wanted to piss him off in fear of getting hit. So I then again stopped playing for very obvious reasons. Finally before I turned 15 my insomnia got really bad but this worked for me since I could stay up late enough that no one would hear me playing guitar. I had hated how often I had quit before so I played everynight for 2 hours and I finally got really serious about it. And by then I was older and more willed plus I was bigger physically. Well I started getting better and my brother became less angry so now I play more then ever. I've been playing seriously for over a year now and plan to continue playing as long as I can.
