9/26/2021 1 Comment Week 1: The Introduction to Guitar For my first blog post, I wanted to give updates on about how the guitar is going for me so far. The reason I chose to start to learn how to play guitar for my project was because I have always loved music and am very passionate about it. My mom got me a guitar for my birthday last year and I never came around to learning it, so I thought this project was a great opportunity for me to start to learn how to play! My goal for this project is to learn more about the guitar and music in general so I can learn more about it to help me in the future when I keep continuing to play. I have a normal acoustic guitar that I'm going to learn on, and maybe when I get more advanced, I can learn how to play the electric guitar! I think that this was a good project for me to choose because I really do see myself playing guitar more and more in the future and seeing it as something that I am really going to enjoy after I get through the hard stages of learning the guitar. I'm still not completely sure what exact songs I want to learn how to play, but I would like to start playing Blackbird by The Beatles and Sweet Creature by Harry Styles in the future. For the first week of Genius Hour though, I have been just practicing basic chords and I'm starting to look into really basic and beginner songs. Over the next 12 weeks, I really hope to achieve this goal or come close to playing a song I find I really want to play! Starting to play hasn't been easy just even past the first week, but I really hope that it'll get easier over time so I can achieve my goal. Another thing that I learned playing guitar is that it hurts your fingers when you play and even after. But for my next week, I plan to talk to some of my friends that already play guitar and ask them for tips that may make it easier for me to start getting into it and tips for the future. And also by next week, I want to start planning on songs I want to learn by the end of the twelve weeks so I can figure out a better plan to playing.

I love this idea Abby! I am so glad that you are picking the guitar back up. I do not know if you have a plan to do online guitar lessons or just try to do it yourself, but whatever it is I am very excited to see your progess!
