Our Guitar Progress

۶◔ ͜ ◔۶ Kathy and Paul’s Progress ͡° ͜໒ ͡°

General skills and songs we are working on - Updated Feb. 2017

Paul's Progress: ͡° ͜໒ ͡° 𝄢

I am a slow learner and so it will take some time to learn but I is definitely something my heart is into and is worth the time as it will be a skill that I will always have with me.

Skills I Am Currently Working On:

  • A YouTube practice session

    • On March 7th I did my first recording of myself playing my first song "Three Little Birds" using A-D-E chords and the JustinGuitar Android app.

    • I plan to record my practice occasionally and will post this and previously recorded practice sessions in our YouTube playlist in order to compare my progress over time.

  • A - D - E chord Practice

      • I have used an app called “Justin Guitar by FourChords” with play along chords, strum patterns timing exercises and songs using visual chords scrolling along as the beat plays. It has songs chords changed in key (to A-D-E chords in my case) for beginners. I started using the app under trial Feb. 12, 2017 and continue to use it for A-D-E by practicing the song "Four Little Birds" at 54 to 86 bpm depending on how I feel. I continue to progress with the app, so paid for full access for a year.

    • I keep a more detailed study notes doc about what I am currently working on as well as goals to monitor and encourage me to continue my progress.

    • This page only has our recent progress. For past progress I also post monthly(or so) to our Acoustic Achord blog with highlights of our hobby history. Past success from this page will be found in the blog.

    • I have been working on playing the tune to Christian Dedication:

      • I am working on this song when I practice on the extra keyboard Jay L. brought over for us to use .

      • My Guitar progress: 52 Christian Dedication -- Tab sheet Our tab sheet for song 52. My tab sheet uses the simplified chords made available with the older music sheets(as #7), and will do so until the simplified chords made available for the new songbook. I am currently concentrating on learning the chords A-D-E through playing the song 'Four little Birds'

    • My Piano progress: I am currently concentrating on learning the piano via an online Piano Video Lessons(PVL) course taught by his piano teacher, Lisa.

۶◔ ͜ ◔۶ Kathy's Progress:

    • Working on various strum patterns

Future Skills we both want to learn

  • Kingdom Melodies

  • Working on various strum patterns
