Learn to play the guitar

I think when I added this I didn’t own a guitar and I wasn’t making any steps towards it, so I guess I can add an entry. My amazing boyfriend bought me a guitar for Christmas, gave it to me a month early (we’d been together for 6 weeks!)-so now I have a guitar, that’s a step. My best friend has been trying to help me learn. I gave up for a long chunk of time, now I’m back on it and I’m almost able to play Mrs. Robinson while singing! Well, the chorus anyways. I seem to have an issue with strumming though, I can’t keep a steady pace down. I am now very impressed by people that are able to keep up the 1-2-3 or 1-2-3-4 count, pick the right cords (not to mention press down hard enough without touching other chords), strum a steadily and sing. Not to mention those that write their own songs. Hot damn.

love to play guitar
acoustic mostly.
i might ask for this for christmas, as it is becoming quite close actually. I would like to teach myself and hopefully see where it goes from there.

watch this space…

I have been playing for 5 years and now my life revolves around music and i play piano, drums, and guitar

I have had a guitar for over a year now. I am slowly learning. I can play a couple of songs that I like but always struggle to find time for it. But I’m working on it.

Unable to complete this goal until my birthday when my wonderful darling mother will buy me a guitar as an 18th birthday present along with a book teaching me the basics of guitarness. And hopefully an automatic tuner. I have a feeling I won’t be good at doing that myself. Will update once I am holding a live guitar in my hands

i want to but everytime i put it off and go on the net…

the motivation goes up and down. sometimes i’m practicing almost every day for a couple of weeks, then i can go a month without touching a string. overall i’ve definitely made a lot pf progress, but i’m still way to far from where i want to be in terms of ability, and I wish i could keep more focused on working it every other day at least.

I just bought an electric guitar online, and it should be here in 7-10 days! Woo!

Ok so I just got a acoustic guitar for my b-day. ^^ I have a lil guitar book. Im working on some chords. It hurts a little, but its pretty fun.

I haven’t been giving my practice any real structure lately. I went to music school so I guess I’m sort of burnt out on the tried and true techniques of academia. Anyway, my Natalie Merchant cover is coming along quite nicely and the vocals are getting more solid with the playing. It’s nothing I’d show to anyone else right now, but it’s a start. I also pilfered around the internet for tabs and found “A Waltz for a Night” by Julie Delphy which was featured in the movie “Before Sunset”. It’s a really easy piece, but the simplicity of it and the melody are really touching. I’m really enjoying it even though I know “technically” it’s not very challenging – who said any of this had to be difficult? :)
