Nearly There

I have been practicing! Very proud of myself. I now know two more songs to add to my song collection. I asked one of my good friends the other day if he could help me to learn a few basic songs that everyone would know that I could play in class. I didn't think he would be that keen to teach me but he was stoked that I even asked! I learnt how to play smoke on water and fast car. Great songs and very very simple. I'm still grasping the fast car song as it has quite hard finger placements for some of the chords but i know the chord sequence now so I guess it's just practice makes perfect. Lets see if I can be talented enough to perform in front of the whole class! eek

I'm Back!

It's a few of weeks away from my presentation for my assignment and I not had much practice with the guitar in the last few weeks. I have been playing since my last post (which I know was quite a long time ago!!) but have been occupied with other things. Since my last post I have plucked up the courage to play in front of my flatmates and a few other friends. I wasn't exactly amazing and my talent didn't blow anyone away but I did manage to put a few chords together to make an OK sounding song! I was pretty stoked as my flatmates didn't think I would be able to do it! I have now been asked to teach a couple of them the basics that I now know so that we can all use the guitar when we have free time around the flat. YAY! Moving up in the guitar world.
I now need to practice a little bit more and decide on a song to play for my group presentation. aaaaahhhhhhhhh!
