Learning guitar can be a challenging task, but once I got the hang of it I could jam out or write songs. Due to this visit to the Gibson Factory, I had the urge to learn how to play the guitar.
First, this trip to the Gibson Museum opened up my eyes to a whole new concept. We were on a family trip to Memphis, Tennessee. The whole city was full of music. We visited the Country Hall of Fame, which showed the famous country singers and their fancy guitars. Then, we decided to go see how Gibson guitars are made at the Gibson Factory. We walked into the main entrance, and my eyes lit up when I saw all of the guitars
