Pocketstrings Portable guitar for practice on the go  :).
This week my partner and I practiced playing a song called Spanish Romance which is a classical guitar piece that is quite popular. I learned the first few chords which is the F-chord and I learned the rhythm of the song by listening watching a YouTube video. Knowing the Rhythm of the song is important to learning the song, because you have to know which note or chord to play when. Practicing the guitar is also tiring for beginners like me because the strings dig in to you fingers whenever you hold down a string. That's why professional guitar players have callouses on their fingers from their skin getting so tough. However at the end the end of the day when everything is done. Playing guitar isn't very hard at all. What makes it difficult is memorizing every single note, getting the timing just right, and the constant practice that you need to achieve these requirements.
