February 22nd 2011

I practiced the guitar again tonight. I'm getting a little faster at changing chords and I'm learning the song pretty quickly, helps that I already know the words.

I really wanted to learn the song Days of Summer for several reasons.

1) it's from A Very Potter Sequel, if you haven't seen any of the Starkids musicals you should check them out on Youtube, search for the StarKidPotter page.

2) Darren Criss sings part of it and I have a huge celebrity crush on him, not to mention he plays Harry Potter in A Very Potter Musical / Sequel

3) The song reminds me of my college friends, because even though we hardly ever see each other anymore I still love you guys

'I don't wanna see you go but it's
Not forever, not forever

Even if it was, you know that
I would never let it get me down

'cause your the part of me that
Makes me better wherever I go

So I will try not to cry
But no one needs to say goodbye'

Still learning the guitar, I can now play about 4 chords without having to look at my little chart but I'm having a hard time going from one to another quickly. I guess that is just something I will learn in time.

Still practicing the guitar, I think I finally figured out the F chord, turns out I was holding the neck wrong. Now everything sounds a lot better.

I changed the song I'm going to learn from Katy Perry's Teenage Dream to Days of Summer, from A Very Potter Sequel. Only problem is, the F chord and I don't get along. I must thank the internet for helping me find a simpler way to play it. I can now play the first two chords of the song, sometimes. Just 10 more chords to go yay! Maybe by the end of the week I will be able to play the whole first line.

February 15th 2011

Dad let me have one of his guitars so I can learn to play on a full sized one instead of my small girly one, now my guitar is as big as I am. I learned 2 of the 3 chords today of Teenage Dream and I need to watch the video again to figure out the last chord. Next step is to make it actually sound good and try to figure out the rif.

I'm learning how to play Teenage Dream on the guitar, which means I can play part of the rif, my fingers hurt, and I have 2 notebook pages full of chords and lyrics
