I'd like to take actual guitar lessons someday, but, for now, I've begun working my way through a 143-page lesson book for beginners. Since I already know how to read music, I just need to focus on learning how to play the notes and chords. So far, I've learned about one octave of notes, which is only 8 notes, but it's a start.

I've finished the first course (beginner grade 1) on justinguitar.com. I'm actually very happy because I've consistently practiced 4x20min each week for the last 9 months and rarely neglected it, it's a habit now. I'll change to ukulele for the remainder of this challenge

Learned G, C and D major.

Take the intro to guitar course

Brett gave me a guitar and I've been going through the book I got when I started trying to learn Mom's guitar. I think I'm going to have to clip my fingernails on my left hand in order to play the chords. Boo. Guess I'll have to quit playing for a few weeks before the wedding.



2014-7-27 I'm halfway through Mel Bay's Grade 1 book and I just put Grade 2 on my wishlist. I can play several major chords (A, B, C, D, E, F,G, Am, Bb, Cmaj7, Dm, D7, Em, G7) and a few others when I have the chord diagram in front of me. My best songs are ones that have the chords close, so I don't have to move that far too fast. Little Big Town "Boondocks", George Gershwin "Summertime", and Norah Jones "Come Away with Me" are ones I can do pretty well right now.

I got a guitar a couple of birthdays ago and started with gusto but this petered off and now I haven't played it in a long time. So I've started simple, going over the very basics with the little girl I babysit for's beginner's guitar book and her kiddie size pink guitar after she's gone to sleep! So far so good - I will get chord changes down this time.

First step to learning - have a guitar :)
