Top 5 Frustrations when learning the guitar

The guitar, an amazing instrument to play once you have learned the basics and can play it decently.

But what are the little annoyances when learning? Well as a guitar player myself I’ll be telling you this…

My Fingers BURN!!! ──────

When first playing the guitar your fingers will start to burn and hurt. Why? Well, your fingers simply can’t handle the thickness of each string.

What’s the good news? It will get better over time, you will, in essence, become like an iron man where your fingers will be made out of Steel! well, not really but you get the picture.

The Deadly Barre Chords ────

You thought number one was bad? HA! just wait till you practice barre chords. After you have practised to a decent amount on the guitar, you can then develop your skills with Barre Chords.

What’s the catch you ask? It hurts… A LOT!!! The reason for this is you will need to use your whole index finger just to play a simple barre chord. Thankfully though, you don’t need to practice this technique if you just want to be decent. However, if you want to go that extra mile with the guitar you will need to practice this.
