    **Myth 1: You Must Start on an Acoustic Guitar**

    • Paul explains why starting with any guitar—acoustic or electric—can be suitable, depending on your musical style, preferences, and budget.

    **Myth 2: Small Hands Can't Play Guitar**

    • Learn why hand size isn't a barrier to playing guitar. Paul shares anecdotes of students with small hands or even missing fingers who have successfully learned to play, and highlights famous guitarists like Angus Young and Prince who didn't let small hands hold them back.

    **Myth 3: Practice Makes Perfect**

    Paul also debunks other myths like the necessity of expensive gear, mastering a song before learning another, and the false need to play fast to be a good guitarist.

    He provides actionable advice on multi-task learning, building confidence through consistent practice, and embracing challenges as opportunities for growth.
