Progress
I have continued practicing the song Upside Down. I have been practicing it nearly every day. However, I miss a few days every here and there. I have been playing through the song by following along with the guitar TAB and chords. My goal is to memorize the song and play it up to speed. I have also been practicing the song I’ve Just Seen a Face. I have not been practicing this song very much because it is not what I am focused on right now. I have continued to sort of mess around with my guitar more. By this, I just mean experimenting with new things like scales and riffs, and also making up stuff to play. Arabian Music I have had a sudden fascination with learning Arabian guitar music. It started with learning a few Arabian sounding scales and then a simple lick. I think it sounds really interesting and it is very fun to play. When Mr. Barker brought his acoustic guitar during spirit week I think that he played a little bit of Arabian style music for a little bit. This reminded me of it, and the next day I started looking into learning the scales that the playing style is built around. I looked on YouTube to learn an Arabian song. I found one that is about two and half minutes long and I can already play through the full song and I have it memorized after just two days. It is a surprisingly easy song but it sounds harder than it is and it is fun to play. I just need to learn to play it a bit faster. Here's a link to the video incase you are wondering: https://youtu.be/4aTw5X3a4Ok Overview So far I am pleased with the progress that I have made. I have been really enjoying learning guitar so far, and I have found myself looking forward during the day to when I get to practice. I am definitely going to continuing playing the guitar even after this project.
