Guitartoo update 10/29 - 11/1

10/29 Wednesday.
Met with my guitar instructor Jimmy from the "Music Lovers Shoppe" for my ½ hour lesson.

  • Jimmy suggested the following
    • Dropping “Here Comes The Sun” due to the level of difficulty.
    • Keeping the other two song suggestions
  • What we learned today
  • How to hold the guitar properly
  • The names of the different strings
  • Finger positioning
  • How to read Guitar Chord Tabs
  • How to play Chords A, D & E
  • The Physiology of why my fingers hurt while playing
  • How often to practice
    • 2 x 15 minute practice sessions a day

My 3 year old asked how my day at guitar school went. She asked if I could play Edelweiss from “The Sound of Music” for her

10/30 Thursday
Did not practice as my fingers were really hurting.

10/31 Friday
Practiced A, D, & E Chords for about 15 minutes only since my fingers were sore.

11/1 Saturday

  • Practiced A, D, & E Chords for about 30 minutes only since my fingers were still a little bit sore.
  • I think I can feel calluses forming on my left hand fingers
  • Used my new guitar skills to coerce my three year old to eat.
    • For every bite, I would play a chord
