I'm learning how to play all kinds of fun songs on my guitar now that I have someone who is helping me to learn.

Played some more guitar. I See the Light is so much easier than Days of Summer. The limited chords helps a lot I have to say, the fact that you can actually hear the guitar in the sound track is helpful, and the picking is really fun to do.

I'm still learning the guitar, and will be for a while. Anyway I was watching some clips from Tangled today and found someone playing I See The Light. I tried it out and it isn't so hard. I kind of felt like a real guitar player because I then just listened to the song and was able to figure out what chords I needed some of the time. I'm having so much fun.

I'm trying to do my guitar 'home work' but I'm all kinds of confused. I'm getting faster at playing the beginning of my song though, and row row row your boat.

I learned how to play row row row your boat on the guitar today. I had to actually memorize it without being able to look at a piece of paper, and I did. Lots more practice is needed before I will actually be able to do it quickly, or even right every time. I am building up my fingers though and I'm able to play for much longer now. Next step is to actually get my fingers strong enough to hold the strings.

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.
