It was very difficult at first and I wanted to give up. My parents told me to keep trying harder and to be patient with myself. After 3 years of playing guitar, I finally started to enjoy it. It was so worth trying to learn because without not learning, I wouldn't be where I am today. ]]> 2021-04-13 12:44:23 UTC https://padlet.com/melissa_mcglone/cql93j0us01f1bks/wish/1411612155 Sean Peat https://padlet.com/melissa_mcglone/cql93j0us01f1bks/wish/1411613001 2 years ago I first started playing the bass. I was really bad and didn't really know much about it. I kept trying and eventually joined one of the school groups. There I learned some more basic stuff and how to play it.
