Male Female

Frankly speaking, there was a time when I helped someone learn something new, which was 11 years ago. I have a friend named Ria Choudhury. We were really good at playing music, especially in Kitha. Whenever he visited my home, we loved jamming with our friends, playing guitar, violin, and especially piano. A crucial challenge I faced in that incident was that he suddenly got disrupted while playing the guitar. He didn't have any resources to choose an option to play his own type of equalizer or instrument, which was very essential for him. I helped him for that purpose because I am his friend. I wanted to help him become a beautiful and soulful guitarist through his efforts. Basically, when he faced challenges, he didn't know how to play the guitar, how to play the strings with good practice, or how to play the rhythms. I investigated the mistakes he was making and tried to find out the significant changes he needed to focus on, especially with his rhythms. I encouraged him to be patient and to push his boundaries to become the best version of himself. Unfortunately, when the real exams were coming up, he still didn't know how to play the guitar in a competition because there were so many problems.
