Tragedy!!

Title says it all, guitar strings snapped, will have to buy a new set on the way back from school sometime this week.

After much messing aroudn on my guitar, my fingers are starting to hurt less (yay!), and i am getting more comfortable with the instrument. I am also experimenting with a technique called vibrato (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qXDOvbGpIbE the opening track is abit disturbing). Ii is not easy at all and is also quite tiring on the fingers at the moment and i keep killing the sound because of bad finger placement, but hopefuly i will get it after some practise.

I have been sourcing out useful youtube videos on how to learn the guitar. Here are some of the more useful ones, enjoy.

Another week has passed, and a few difficulties have reared their ugly heads attempting to block progress on my guitar, namely school work. But i have managed to squeeze out a couple hours of practise. As a side note, as i play two instruments (bass, guitar) i find their techniques to sometimes clash, quite violently. I will have to find a way around that

This week i admitedly did not spend too much time on my guitar, and started messing around with my bass more often. I have not totally forgot about my guitar though!! But i need to find a balance between the two instruments without neglecting either one too much or they will get angry and start to rust on me.

this week i spend some time trying to learn the song "wonderwall" by oasis from youtube. i managed to more or less get it after some practise. here is the link (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0eQ7EM9riN4)
