LessonEight





I remember the time when I was just learning the guitar. I actually had a jump start. When taking a formal lesson, they will teach you music theory, so learning chords will take a while. I actually had to learn the chords first without knowing where they’re originated. I had to learn it from A major to G major, then A minor to G minor, just like the alphabet, abcdefg. It took me a week, spent my time familiarizing and memorizing them. By the second week, I know those chords by heart. If the song that I’m trying to learn says A7, I just simply played it as A. The biggest part of it is the enthusiasm; I’m really motivated to explore this new thing. I’m glad I did and really enjoyed it. With today’s golden era of communication, learning tools are endless, there’s books, and best of all the internet. I’d watched kids as young as 5 years old playing much better than I can. I was amazed. Just like me, we share the same passion, love of music. Have fun and God Bless.
