One of my friends who learned something without a teacher is Bilal. He learned playing guitar by himself. At first he became interested in the music when he was in high school. But he had no money in order to enroll in the course. But he did not give up and he started learning by himself. He bought a guitar and started practicing on it with the help of YouTube videos. After few months in the beginning his fingers would hurt because of the chords and he feel frustrated but he never gave up and started practicing songs daily. After few months he was able to perform any song on the guitar and he started performing in different concerts and colleges. In my opinion he proved that if a person has hard work he proved that if he had a strong dedication and passion one can truly learn anything without a teacher.
