Hello C’s Class

So I am still learning how to play the guitar… and it is harder than I thought. Basically I set out to learn one song for my mid term that has the chords D and A and I thought, well how hard can this be…Welllllll hard.

Last week we brought in our instruments into class to do some practicing and to ask for help. So that is definitely what I did. I explained my situation to the teacher and told her straight up “I suck and I am going to fail!” I know… pretty honest of me but seriously that is how I felt. I told her that there was no way that I was going to be able to achieve my goal by Feb 27th! She explained that all of this is a learning process and that we don’t have to be a super start by the mid term…THANK GOD! My mind was feeling more at ease now that I know I just need to try my very best and show progress! Which I definitely have. Last time I blogged I think I said I was getting the pattern down and learned the chords. Well I am here to tell you that I have learned more about the learning process which is important but I did learn new things on the guitar… Which I think is probably more important as I need to pass the class! I got better at switching from A to D quickly (still not perfect) and I learned how to do the strumming pattern that actually sounds good…well pretty good. As I continue to practice after I blog, I am going to continue practicing to switch from A to D without looking and do my best to make my sound more sharp and clear. Really pressing down on the chords to make my sound better, and playing the song with the real song to see if I can use the right tempo and speed so that I am playing it to the beat of the song! Wish me luck!
