This week has been a struggle to find time. We had family come from out of town and I found it very difficult to find time to practice. I had many hiccups this week actually. I decided to do a 7 day free trial on the guitar app I was using and accidently hit a 3 month subscription that cost $75. I am still waiting to see if Apple refunds me my money. Honestly, I would not mind if they do not because it is a very useful app to help me practice my guitar playing.
I also have decided to learn a new song Nirvanas-Come as you are. I found a free lesson on Youtube and that is what I have focused most of my time on. I have gotten pretty good at the first couple of notes but not very consistent. I hope to improve my consistency by next week.
I hope to have a video of me playing some of this song next week. Practice makes perfect.

Thanks for sharing, Jose. Be easy on yourself. I think this process helps us see how difficult it is to get out of our comfort zone and be even more patient and understanding with our students. Excited for your video!
ReplyDeleteHi Jose! Coming into this activity what was your level of experience with playing an instrument? Mine was zero and I am having the hardest time quickly transitioning from chord to chord. Playing tabs has been so much easier for me but at the same time, it is very limiting as to what I can try to play.
ReplyDeleteHi Jose,
ReplyDeleteTime is always one of the biggest stressors and makes it difficult to pursue our passions. I have learned sometimes it is worth it to pay a little extra for something that will help you to keep going. Keep working hard and awesome job!
