Second guitar lesson...

Okay...so my "Wild Thing" is still a bit disjointed. But it takes practice and unfortunately, I've had very little time this week to do that. I want to make a point to do at least 30 minutes a day. That was what I did for my piano and flute when I was learning those. It's just hard when I'm in class 3 days a week and expected to be places on the weekend and...yeah...

BUT...

In addition to working more on "Wild Thing," Tim decided to teach me another song. And this is why I love my teacher...

I'm learning "Rockstar" by Nickelback! Oh yeah. I LOVE it. It's an easy strum pattern.

Down, down, down, up, up, down, down.

Four chords.

G, Cadd9, F, Bь

The last one is the hard one for me because my fingers are so small so the reach is a bit tough. But he's showing me ways around that. AWESOME!

So...still loving it!!

Glad the guitar lessons are so much fun--and especially glad you have a teacher who can show you how to make the chords work even with small hands! (That was always a problem for me, and one of the reasons I didn't play bass for very long.)

I'm glad that he has ways that will make it work for me. I knew my small hands might be an issue...but I didn't realize how much until I got into my lessons. Thankfully, I do have a good teacher! Small hands can be worked with!

Thank you!!
