I finally have a guitar! I mean a correctly tuned guitar(because we have tons of guitars around the house) so that I can finally learn an instrument. I wanted to learn piano/organ/keyboard but I don't have one at the moment, but maybe in May, I can start on that. I'm also getting a Mac soon so maybe I can start actually making quality covers in Garage Band.I'm trying to learn the guitar basics through online videos because my cousin said it was enough to do that because it's the same thing as formal lessons but free and a little less technical. Now I know the pain of all guitarists rocking out every time they play(but maybe not because they play a lot and some people's fingers even bleed-Thank God that hasn't happened to me yet). My fingers are so sore right now that it hurts to type this right now(see my writing dedication there??), and that's just learning 4 chords. I hope the tips of my fingers get calloused soon so that it won't hurt as much to keep my fingers pressed on to the strings in the correct frets. This is even more challenging because the guitar I'm using is right handed and I happen to be left handed. But at least I have long fingers so placing my fingers on different frets and strings is not as hard it may be for a person with short fingers. I really want to learn an instrument this time, I have to suck it up, get over the pain and just try my best to learn guitar and own it. (And I'm actually trying to learn all the chords.... not just a few so that I can play a certain song). In the future, I hope I can be able to play by ear and maybe even make my own composition. That'd be cool and it'd keep me off my phone and the internet for a while :P. I HOPE I ACTUALLY STICK TO THIS! OMG! IF I DON'T, I'LL FEEL LIKE SUCH A FAILURE BECAUSE I COME FROM A FAMILY THAT SINGS(VERY WELL, IF I MAY SAY SO MYSELF)AND OVERALL MUSICAL. I don't want to be a let down. Now... I shall leave y'all to try to make fingers get callouses faster :P
P.S. I hope you're all stoked for Christmas! (as I am)
P.P.S. Have a nice day! Keep smiling cause, we ought to give the shape of a banana some homage!
