Dear Humans,

When people are learning to play the guitar, they complain about their fingers hurting. The steel strings really cut them raw. And the only way to make your fingers strong is to keep on playing. 

When people are learning to play the guitar, the people they live with complain about all the racket. Because there is nothing worse than hearing someone mess up the opening riff of “Smoke on the Water” over and over and over. 

A lot of people give up at this point. Because their fingers hurt and their families hate them. But if you want to become a good guitar player, you have to keep going.

Because the only way to be good at something is to get through the being bad part.

Sincerely,

Mr. Curt
