I feel that, while I’m still making progress, my progress this week has been a lot less. Maybe that is because I have already learned most of the easy stuff, or maybe my practice has been lacking this week. Nonetheless, I have still made progress this week. I have almost fully memorized Upside Down by Jack Johnson. I just have to memorize some of the picking in the middle of the song and at the end of the song. I have also fully memorized the Arabian song that I was learning. However, I can not yet play it up to speed without a bit of mistakes. I am pretty good at memorizing songs, partly due to the fact that I have memorized songs in the past on the piano. I am also just good at finding patterns in the music which makes it easy to memorize when I look closely at it. I think I will be able to fully memorize Upside Down by the end of this week. And by the end of next week, I hope to be able to play it at full speed. Switching between the A chord and the B chord is still a bit difficult to do without a slight pause in between the chords. After that, I want to finish learning and memorizing I’ve Just Seen a Face by the Beatles. I think that I will definitely be able to fully learn at least 3 songs. Including, I’ve Just Seen a Face, Upside Down, and that Arabian song. I think most likely I will be able to learn one more song in addition to those within the 12 week time frame. Although, I have not yet decided what song that will be. I kind of want to learn the song Yesterday by the Beatles, but I’m not sure how hard of a song it is.
