write music

I started to read the first chapter of the book and I am still on it because it seems to hard for me to follow. Now I know that I am a complete idiot when I can’t even follow the first chapter.

I guess I will just have to read and re-read it until I understand it.

Oh brother. . .

Boy, that was quick. I ordered it on Friday and got it Tuesday. I will read the first chapter today if I can!

I ordered by from Amazon.com. It is called The Complete Idiot’s Guide to Music Composition. It should help me toward completing this goal that I have carried in my heart for so long.

I think that the playing the guitar might take longer, due to my heartache. It is hard to explain but this goal and the guitar goal a bit hard to pursue at this point in time.

I am trying and pushing myself, with hope of finding a bit of sunshine in stormy clouds that loom over.

I am kind of sideline this goal until my apartment is cleaned and organized so I can just sit down and write without worrying about all the stuff I am neglecting but taking my time on this.

Step 1. The goals “Get completely out of boxes” and “Clean entire apartment” and “Get organized” have to be completed before I can continue this goal.

I was busy cleaning on Sunday when I found my old guitar bag with some patches that I wanted to sew on my guitar strap.

I actually took down one of my guitars off of the wall and strumed it a little bit while sitting on the couch. It needed tuning badly as well as the other one.

I have 3 in all, but only two are in working order. The third one was a dime store buy for $5.

The fret board came away from the body of the guitar and I thought it might be able to be fixed for me to play. It is a slighty small size then my other acosutic guitar. T’s dad fixed it for me, but another fellow guitarist told me that it would never play right because the tension of the strings on the fret board would always pull against the fixed part on the guitar. So, I just put it up on the wall with my other one, that is slightly too big for my petite frame to play.

Some time along the way, I did buy a small used guitar that fits me perfectly. This the one that I was playing with on Sunday.

I have to set up my keyboard up as well so I can learn how to read, write and play some music on both the guitar and the keyboard.

It looks like this goal is going to be moving forward in the near future.

I have this book that I need to read that will probably help me understand music and teach me how to write music.
