play the guitar

I finally did it! there’s this song that I had wanted to learn to play on the guitar for a long time and today I finally felt in the mood…grabbed my guitar and made some noise for an hour or so…haha. After more than 2 months of no practice, I think I did good. I’m so glad I’m back to one of my hobbies!

but I think my strings are bad, I mean… one is different gauge or something. it sounds bad.
I need to do something about that.

So I’m back to practicing regularly, switching between working on songs (like the acoustic bit at the beginning of “Crazy On You” by Heart – which is HARD) and fingering drills.

For the fingering drills, I’ve actually written a tool that serves up random drills in whatever key I like – GuitarCardio.com – that keeps my practices from getting stale, and helps me push my theory & fingerboard knowledge.

first official week of practicing and my fingers are falling off.

but i couldnt be happier :]

..... and have created a ‘bucket list’ and on it is play guitar which I thought would be easier than some of the other items, like ‘be a nicer kinder person’ ‘learn a language’ ‘walk the great wall of china’ etc. So have started. Am completely rubbish but will strum on!!

this week i picked up my guitar i had leaning against my wall for 2 years and actually starting practising and playing it, so far i learned at least 12 different chords, some strumming patterns and theory, woohoo!!
so much fun

I have my guitar which has been untuned and propped up against a wall for too many years now. I want to be able to teach myself and take lessons as a last resort. Has anyone got anything that can keep my motivated?
I suppose it wouldn’t be all that hard. I can read treble and (with practice) bass notes. I play the flute and I can do some stuff on the keyboard/piano aswell.

Starting today I am going to learn for 2 hours a week. So about 20 minutes a day.

i play guitar it is awsome its a great way to worship god

I’ve been wanting to learn electric for the longest time & lately hubby is encouraging me…
