I guess I'l blog about guitar for my personal music blog. We're learning bar chords which are kind of hard for me right now. I guess moving from one part of the neck to the other is just a bit hard because I'm not to great at speed. Especially when it comes to changing chords (oops). Our first song was All the Small Things by -Blink-182. I use to think this song was called Say it Ain't So. The only hard part about this song is the rhythm; the chords don't change much.
The other song we learned was an old favorite of mine Seven Nation Army by the White Stripes (this one's actually the music video). This song's rhythms easy and it's chords are okay. There's just a lot of them. I also missed the lesson on 5th string notes so I don't have them memorized as well as I would like. I think its 2-B 3-C 5-D 7-E 9-F 10-G 12-A? I don't know it's a lot harder to put that onto a guitar when you haven't practiced it.
I really appreciate that White Stripes have a girl drummer. Any girl in a rock band get respect from me. I think it's a bit harder for them to fit in and get respect from other men. They're all over sexualized and instead of realizing their talent everyone's like THEY'RE SO HOT, IF THEY'RE IN A BAND I CAN TOUCH THEIR BUTT YEAH! Or people just disregard their music because of their gender. I know my brothers usually won't happily listen to rock bands with women singers unless they've heard good things or like the first 5 seconds of it.
Although everyone has a right to their own opinion, and mine is; GUITAR IS SO HARD I NEED TO PRACTICE MORE.
Thanks for reading :)
Have a great (hopefully warm) night.
