progress
(I'm feeling creative)
just remembered this blog thing. I haven't thought about it for a long time, and noticed that I have had a couple of comments. Thank you very much to you two!
I am really pleased about progress on the guitar. My standards are low and I have almost reached where I want to be! I can play 7 chords now A D E C G Em and Am and more or less play without looking at the strings all the time. The next big thing is to be able to finger pick. I just can't do it, but as with all things in life I just have to do it over and over again and it will click, well I hope it does, because finger picking always sounds better than strumming to me anyhoo.
I have had my 30 year dream of being able to play Leonard Cohen songs come true, I can do three of them now. This is thanks to chordie a site where you can transpose the chords of any song into the ones that you know. You just have to click on the transpose thing and you can go 6 semitones up or six down until the chords are the ones you know. How fab is that. I think beginners need to know about this, it means you can play anything you like practically, just by transposing. I remember I looked in a Leonard Cohen song book in a shop once and saw the most impossible looking chords for his songs, no need to be frightened about that, just go to chordie and change them. So if any hopeless beginners are reading this, tell me your guitar problems, you can't be worse than me lol
