Some of the misconceptions of novice musicians do not have any weighty arguments and often interfere with developing their talent and trying something new.
1. «I have poor hearing so I can't play guitar»
Many people think that in order to play the guitar you need a very good ear. In fact, this is not the case. It is important to pick the chords clearly and pay more attention to the technical aspects. With improvisation, of course, it will be a little more difficult, but, as mentioned above, ear can be developed.
2. «You must sing to the guitar»
Many are haunted by this misconception, since it is customary to see the guitar solely as an instrument for accompaniment to songs. But on the guitar it is quite possible to play a variety of works of different genres, develop technique and sound independently. Singing is completely optional.
3. «I have no ability, so I can't play guitar»
Anyone can play, at least at an average level for sure. Of course, for admission to the conservatory and building a musical career, ability plays a very important role, but everyone can learn. And then - regular classes and honing the technique.
4. «I have no hearing»
This is a common misconception, since everyone has an ear for music - another thing is that some have it better, while others have it worse. And he also has the ability to develop, and it is better to do this from childhood. There are, of course, lucky ones who have an absolute ear for music from birth, but in fact there are very few such people.
5. «A cheap guitar will do to get you started.»
Thinking so, for some reason everyone forgets that cheap guitars are made of not very high-quality materials, so the sound of the instruments leaves much to be desired. In addition, it can be simply inconvenient to play - the height of the strings above the frets, the health of the neck and decks play a very important role. Playing a bad guitar can simply discourage any desire to study further. Therefore, you should still buy a good instrument to enjoy every note and improve your skills.
