Guitar Journal Lesson 4

I learnt how to pluck the different variations of the D and Em Chords. Woah! The learning curve is really exponential. Got to practise to remember. Having some music background helps me understand what he teaches. Else I will be clueless and frustrated. I think my guitar coach will be frustrated too. But he's been great so far. Very patient.

I learnt how to vary the chords based on the melody line.

I learnt to play G and A differently.

I learnt if there is only one guitar available in a band, it's better to use the acoustic for a fuller sound unless a specific sound from the electric guitar is needed.

I learnt to memorise the chords and lyrics to facilitate worshipping even while I am playing.

Great teachers don't just teach. They inspire. It's the aha! experience that causes their hearers to get their butts moving to do something!
