Genius Hour-It's Showtime

I feel I came pretty far since last week. I started to play Nirvanas- come as you are, and I feel I have accomplished the goal I set for myself this week. I can play it fairly smooth and with little or no mistakes. I found many bumps along the way which had to do with time. We were out of town this weekend couldn't fit the guitar in the van. I got back right on it on Monday when I got back  from vacation. I played it until my fingers got tired which is not that long since I'm not use to playing for that long anyway. 


I feel I have not reached my end goal just yet. I would like to continue to learn and play more songs. My goal is now to maybe take lessons from an instructor to really learn how to play the guitar better. The free videos on youtube are great but are no substitute for a real instructor.

  2. Jose,
    I totally get it. Sometimes videos are great, yet having an instructor to catch your mistakes and showcase your learning will definitely help us improve even more effectively. Hope you get a chance to work with an instructor and keep growing your passion for guitar playing.

Genius Hour-Expect Mutiny

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.
