Charlie the guitarist
I’m Charlie, a 10 year-old guitarist, I have been taking guitar lessons for two-and-a-half-years and recently working hard to learn the song ‘Blackbird’ by the Beatles. My friendly teacher David is committed to helping me complete my skills and songs, even when things get a little tough, his patience and experience makes the ‘hard things’ easier, and he always supports me through the difficulties of learning guitar.
Learning takes persistence, and i’m always taking on valuable life skills. The satisfaction I get when completing a skill or song creates more enthusiasm to keep getting better and better at guitar. I Like playing guitar because it’s a very good skill to learn, I like my lessons because they are fun, exciting and motivating.
In June 2017, i’ll be playing at the Lowry Theatre in a rock band with other students around my age. The song we will be performing is TNT by AC/DC, we have practiced as a band over a twelve week rehearsal period with David mentoring and pushing us to get really good at playing and performing our song, I also enjoyed making new friends and growing in confidence.
When practicing, I tend to start with about ten minutes of skills the next ten minutes is spent on songs and my advice to beginner guitarists is:
- Never give up
- Try your hardest
- Have confidence
- Listen
