are there any tips so I won%26#039;t give up and instead have fun doing it?

Find inspiration, and once in a while take a break, dont constantly practice practice. and what i mean for inspiration like a goal. for instance mine is to play Dragon Force-through the fire and the flames. trust me its impossible for me but i try anyways. you can also practice with a friend even if they dont play the same instrument.

The guitar is a nice instrument. What I would suggest it to try and play music that you like in-between courses or get The Beatles songbook.





Classical gets boring but it doesn;t mean you have to stick to classic music. I play pop on my classical and in the studio , I use my electric.


That might be another option for you, get an electric guitar.
