The Rough Hands

I have been moving forward on my guitar play and knowing of the keys. I am actually not that bad at the guitar. I am picking up on chords and keys and am slowly getting better every practice. The only trouble is that me and my guitar teacher Will Liddle can never have a set date as to when we can practice and meet. It is good that we are friends and can work around one another schedule. We normally like to meet on Wednesday but if that does not work we will plan something. Another thing that is happening is that my fingers are starting to get rough from playing a lot. I kind of like it because it shows that I am progressing. Moving forward I just have to stay on task and keep working on my skills and hopefully soon I will be able to play the guitar without having to stop between each chord to look at my finger placement. I hope that learning to play the guitar will cause my friends to also want to learn or get into music. Thank you for tuning it hope to see you all soon.

Steps to success

              Ive come a long way since I just picked up a guitar. I have learned how to tune a guitar and learned how to read notes of a sheet of paper or an app. I realized that I am a little more musical than I expected and should have done music as a hobby. I used to play saxaphone for elementary school but that did not last long. The toughest thing I have encountered was not having enough time to practice and get used to it so it becomes fluent. I am not stressing out about it though I know I still have time and will grind when I really have to. As of now I just have to keep practicing the notes of the song I will be playing called "Im Yours" by Jason Mraz. Playing the guitar is just helping me become a more well rounded person. Rather than just everyone thinking all I do is play sports.
