Guitar Update

I'm almost done with guitar lessons for the semester. I'm still very very much enjoying myself.

As a matter of fact, I played the guitar so much last weekend that it STILL hurts a little to type the letters w, s, or x, or the number 2.

So what did I learn this semester?

• Basic chord progressions in D, G, C, A, and E along with several strumming patterns
• Some additional chord progressions in minor chords.
• Several scales and alternate picking for scales.
• A few different finger picking patterns including Travis picking.
• Bar chords.

That's not half bad.

I'm getting quicker at chord changes for the most part. Some are still bugging me, put progress is progress, right?

I still suck at bar chords, but as of last night, I can actually play some of them some of the time.

I'm still enjoying myself immensely. I only have one more lesson this semester. It's my "final" for the class (since it's a guitar class at UVSC), so I probably won't learn anything new.

The good thing is that I have a lot I can still learn with the things listed above. I can still make a lot of progress without lessons, and when I hit a point where I'm "stuck" in my progression of guitar playing, it'll be time to take another round of guitar lessons.
