This week I’ve been pretty busy and I haven’t had as much time to work on my guitar skills as I would’ve liked but I still got some things done. I have basically finished learning my basic chords and I have gone on to trying to learn and play notes.
I’ve been having a lot less time to practice recently due to other work which I am hoping will cease to be a problem soon. My practice schedule has been slightly less consistent. Instead of 30 minutes a night I have been practicing around 15 minutes every 2 nights. I do not always have time to actually use the guitar to practice. Sometimes I just use websites and videos to help me learn new techniques to use for the next time I play I have learned how to recognize each chord as a note on the musical staff and I have been trying to use that to sight read. So far that is not going very well. I am going to have to practice sight reading a lot more to be able to read and play music with the guitar. I am able to move my fingers from chord to chord slightly faster now. I am somewhat nervous that I will not be able to move my fingers fast enough to learn any difficult songs. I am going to try to learn some new techniques to help me deal with this issue in the future. My grandfather will sit down with me this week and hopefully will help me with some of minor issues I am having while playing. I still have some difficulty with finding each chord immediately but I am hoping this problem will be resolved soon. Overall I think I need to improve on my timing skills and I need to improve on how quickly I can move from chord to chord.

This week I've mainly still been practicing G C and D chords. My grandfather sat down with me and played a very simple beginner song. The song consists of the G C and D chords and is not very difficult. He told me to try to learn the song to best of my ability before he visits again. I've been practicing the song all week and I still can't play it that well. I've been trying to learn the song by memory too and that has been pretty difficult.
