Tee's Learning Log

Hello all,
I joined in December 2024 and then got sidetracked, but I think it’ll be a good idea to put some goalsetting here, even if I keep taking breaks.

My guitar practice was quite regular until a few months ago but I’ve now started too many other things again. I had got to “10 songs by heart” but some of these now seem to have vanished from my brain again. :smiley:

I shall use this to hold myself accountable - do feel free to join in in pushing me towards my goals. :wink: Also, if you’d like to record something with a random stranger on the internet - do drop me a message.

Broad goals (will make them “SMART” along the way)

  • record the songs I’ve written and put them on bandcamp or soundcloud
  • keep working through my fingerpicking course
  • work on harder chord changes
  • learn songs not just with the simplest strumming

I like folk/indie stuff and the Beatles and think it’s high time a folk protest song revival spread across the globe. :innocent:

Right. Today, I will work on: Fingerpicking “Take me home” and on playing “The Long and Winding Road”. I shall dare post a song here before the month is out.

Not too long before March ends, I’ve just noticed… Have to still figure out where everyone hosts the shared audios. :sweat_smile:

Away with no guitar this weekend so trying to squeeze in some practice. Finding it rather hard to change between fifth and sixth string barre chords seemlessly…

Along with a million other guitar players.

In this thread will do.

And there’s that estimate of 50 million out there, right? Looks like my million has some catching up to do. :wink:

Watched Justin’s most recent video and practised what I actually want to be good it - chord-melody arrangements. So some stuff from Grade 3, Module 15 and 17 (single-string picking and joining chords) - and those barre chord changes.

I much prefer playing songs to myself, but do like working on technique once in a while.
