Making music is very calming and healing to the system.

When we are around music that we love, our brains naturally emit oxytocin (the 'love' hormone), dopamine (happy, calming), and seratonin (anti-anxiety, anti-depressant).

Music actually and literally changes our state of mind for the better, the happier, the calmer.

I hope you find this to be true for you as you learn to play the guitar.

Don't put any pressure on yourself - just let the experience unfold at whatever rate and pace is right for you. [br][br]

Be well, and welcome to GuitarTricks!
