Learning how to play the guitar might garner the respect and admiration of your friends and neighbors, but it might also give you a rewarding passion to pursue, whether for a few years or a lifetime. In spite of the raw, sore fingertips and the drudgery of practicing every day, sometimes for hours on end, playing the guitar allows you to express yourself in ways that words cannot. And your playing ability will develop and mature over time, allowing you to create more elaborate musical concepts. But this will not happen without a measure of patience, instruction, and commitment to excellence. In other words, if you want to get good, you have to play through the pain.
