Styles Develops Guitar
Join my journey into the mysterious world of the musician.
Current Song: Walkaways by the Counting Crows
Thoughts: My guitar teacher has given me
the tab for Walkaways!
My best attempt so far can be found here. I'm off on the intro and playing too many strings throughout (especially the G on the high E string), but it's getting there.
Short Term Goal 1: Learn to play Walkaways with the metronome while counting and tapping my foot.
This will require me to learn to:
- Count with the beat
- Use a metronome
- Play lightly
- Strum continuously
- Avoid hitting extra strings
- Pick in a circle
Short Term Goal 2: Learn to tune the guitar by ear using a pitch pipe.
This will require me to learn to:
- Use a pitch pipe
- Match pitch by ear
- Become adept at hitting two strings then adjusting the tuning pegs
