Guitar

Another good thing about forcing myself to wait for a teacher is that I'll know what kind I actually want.

Today was a peaceful practice. Thank goodness.

Something I've discovered today is that I want to steer away from "rock" guitar lessons and toward "classical" guitar lessons. Classical methods are going to help me learn to play the way I want to. I've been looking up instructions on this vein and have been like, "OMG YES!"

I really hate strumming. I didn't get angsty until I started trying to do it. Probably because I suck so masterfully at it.

Plucking the strings is prettier and more complex.

I really need to get my guitar in tune tomorrow too. Part of the reason of why today might have been more peaceful is because I muted the strings to practice picking patterns and only played chords one string at a time. It's out of tune, and I probably need to change the strings.

Upside: I should be able to find a classical guitar teacher CRAZY easy here.

In the summer, though, in the summer.
