It's been a busy summer with work, work travel, kids, and kids' activities! I am finally getting around to updating this blog!
I've been working on learning to read tabulature and teaching myself various chords. As evidenced by my last post, I was able to the successfully play the opening riff of the song I am working on - by "fingerpicking". On to the next stage: learning the chords!
I used a variety of resources for this next stage in the learning process (shown in the images below): Liberty Park Music is a great resource for people trying to teach themselves to play any instrument. I used this site to help with the basics of reading tab notation. I found it helpful to create my own diagrams and cheat sheets as the way that tab is written did not immediately resonate with me.
I was struggling with moving from one chord to another while playing, and wasn't able to find a video or website to help me with this specific problem, so I called in an expert: my husband, an accomplished (self-taught) guitarist, who was able to offer a few great tips and tricks to get me to the next stage!
