Week 3

For my third week, I learned the strumming style of the song that I am going to play.


Originally, I was going to use a basic strumming pattern for my song, but it didn't flow as well as if I just learned the strum that was used for the song originally. I couldn't learn the strum just from listening to the song over and over again, so I decided to go to YouTube and see if there were any tutorials on how to play the song.


I soon found a tutorial from Manuel Rottach where he taught me the strumming pattern and some other needed tips of the song. 


Now I am just practicing the song over and over. Later on, I may add some percussion with my strumming, but we'll see! 

Week 2

For my second week, I chose a song that I am going to play for my project. 



I've had a list in my head of songs that I've always wanted to play on the guitar, but when I went to chose a song, I couldn't remember the songs that what I wanted to play.



It took me quite a while to find a song. I would listen to a bunch of songs, some I liked, and some I didn't. When I found a song that I liked, I looked up the chords for the song, and found that it would be too difficult for me to play and perform. 



After a long search, I finally found a song that I want to learn. I chose the song "Angel in Blue Jeans" by Train.  


It took me a while to find a song, but I finally found one that I am going to enjoy playing. :)
