Recently....

So I have recently been practicing and I am amazed at my improvement. My chord changes are much faster now and I can play more difficult songs. I am just now being able to play bar chords. I am very happy with how my guitar playing and the next step is to push the difficulty of the songs that I am practicing as I have mastered the simple ones.

Picking it up again

Now that my current homework situation has cooled down I have found time to pick up the guitar again. Over the past several days I have learned how to weight my fingers on certain strings as to be able to switch between chords much easier. I have also gone out and bought a capo for an acoustic guitar of which I am now using. I have moved on from the basic chords to being able to play certain songs. I am currently working on "Country Roads", "Holding out for a Hero", "Clocks", "Sweet Home Alabama", and "Lay All Your Love On Me". All of these are pretty straightforward songs and I am working on the transition of the chords. My next task is to figure out the strumming patterns. Overall, I am having a wonderful time figuring all of this out.
