Grytpipe's Learning Log

Maybe i should have started with this earlier on, but there’s just not enough time in a day… well, mostly there isn’t… Oh well, better late then never, i suppose…

This month ends the first degree of education, here at my local music academy.
This is the end of my first 3-year journey into music generally and ofcourse, guitar.
It comes with a small graduation ceremony and reception afterwards… :slight_smile:

Next year i’ll start on the second degree, which will be about exploring theory about jazz, pop and rock music and listening to and dissecting songs.
Also more guitar lessons and playing in group sessions. (something i’m really excited about).

Can’t say it’s been easy, but it has sure been fun. Can’t wait to get going with the next part.

Update: a few months in the new module in school and it has been busy.
Songs i’m working on because we agreed as a group on what we would play are: Monster (The Automatic) and R u Mine (Artic Monkeys).
My teacher gave me the solo from stairway to heaven to learn (more about technique, i guess) and no one knows (qotsa) for fun.
So i’m busy these days playing and learning these songs.
Playing in a “band” is something completely different.
Drowning, is how i felt, first time out there. Didn’t know what, who or why.
You could say i hit the ground running.
Now, a few months later, i’m much more comfortable playing in a groupsetting and i’m getting there.
Let’s see what the year will bring…
