Class 2

Today was humid and i was sweating like a big water tank.
Today's class was very hectic and Lee asked me to play the strings by looking at the book. i could not do that because i never practiced. His instruction was immediate, play the strings by feeling them with fingers and not seeing them. (This entire guitar learning is just like keyboard typing. 7 years back i was typing at 10 letterrs/minute by looking at the keyboard. now, i can type this entire blog in 2 min with out looking at keyboard)

after this, he gave some instructions on my hand supporting position and started explaining the right hand chord exercise. (This involves plucking strings simultaneously) i tried but ok, i was little successful. but
Homework: i have to practice all parallel plucking the combinations of these six strings

After this, lee cleared the biggest confusion i had. what is tone and semi tone and why B does not sound like B on E-High strings (becoz they are seperate by an octave)

(Actually, i understood a little further study needed to reinforce this)

Next, comes the tones on each string of guitar.
Home work: practice the notes and how to read them.

Pretty much for a single class for an average guy on humid summer day.

i had a lot of stuff to practice.
lets see how it goes.

Twinkle:
I had a chance to play my first musical piece.
Lee said that if i finish all the home work i can play twinkle twinkle little star on my 100$ guitar.
