After 8 months I've had my first go at singing while playing... it's about 2 or 3 years too soon <E>:lol:</E> - but I figured it'd be good to get these early attempts recorded ...

This is just a video of my general review on the online course I'm following now I've completed grade one... might be a useful little watch for anyone considering learning guitar or ...

Short snappy update as I come to the end of a consolidation phase... bigger & newer things to come in the next week or so.

I couldn't help but get a little festive. Been practicing stuff that should well & truly annoy my family when performed in mum's living room in a couple weeks time.

100 hours officially completed... couldn't help but put together a little compilation. Still rubbish but on we march!

Took a step backwards this week in hopes of eventually taking several steps forwards by mainly focusing on songs that work the two chords I find most difficult - C & D.. well, save for ...

Month three - now entering a consolidation phase until I feel comfortable enough to move onto... you know... that F thing & the second grade of the course I'm following.

After 72 hours I reckon it's fair to say I now know the cowboy chords... even if changing between them still requires a lot of work.

10 weeks in... not too much change as I've mainly been going over the same things for the past 2/3 weeks... hopefully just some small improvements with bits & pieces.<br/>

This one isn't for the squeamish... if you don't like looking at calluses forming you may want to give this one a miss... if you're morbidly curious like I am then you may want to give ...

First Day Learning Guitar

Hey all, I’m Shawn, 38 & fresh to the guitar.

Saturday was my very first day at getting stuck in (probably spent a little too long at it - finger tips feel like I burned them on a stove!).

I spent my first hour awkwardly & awfully strumming between D & A chords, but ...
