Exasperated... I put my guitar down...my fingers hurt from the all the strumming...am trying to get it right... but no - I miss the point. Like my teacher said, the technique is important, you'll get it everything right eventually. 10 months and 2 teachers later, its been quite sometime with my personal struggle with the instrument. So much so that it gives me a muscial heartache. I don't want to leave mid-way. I want to be able to play. Play simple songs, soulful songs...good songs... where everyone can humm along!!!
I guess, to quote Robert Frost... 'I have miles to go before I sleep'.
Currently practicing 'Knocking on Heavens door' by Avril Lavigne. Got it partially...yet not there....
guitar! I m not much of a musical person unless someone strings as a dedication to me :)
ReplyDeleteKeep trying and very soon you will be there!
guitar... that's in my wishlist. I try strumming it but music doesn't comes out and I end up being a noise polluter ;)
ReplyDeleteI will have to keep reading this blog everyday. Am skipping my practice. Haven't even learnt proper strumming. I guess I need a teacher finally.
ReplyDeleteI must applaud you for your effort, Meghna. Keep at it sweetie
