On the 9th May I knew how to play, without music or chords in front of me, one tune .. Maire's wedding. I also knew the following chords;
C F G g7 A Am D D7
How do I know it was that date ? Because that was the day I decided to enter John's contest.
Today, without music or chords in front of me I can play, Maire's wedding, Lord of All Hopefulness and the majority of Stairway to Heaven ( not the strumming section at the end )
I now also know E7 Gm Bb (hard!) and Em ( I think it's that, or just E lol )
I'm making this post for two reasons. One so that I can look back in another month or two and see how much further I have gone on in regards to learning more chords / strums ... and two, to say to others 'go for it' when it comes to entering a contest, it made me focus so much more and I feel I learnt so much from it. It took me 6 - 7 weeks to learn my piece, but it has given me the confidence to know now that I can learn anything if I put my mind to it - and the incentive to do so.
So now I just need to learn some more strums !
What do YOU know ? Might be fun to make a note and compare in a few weeks time ?
