day 5

I've been getting tired of going by the book, so I started trying to learn songs that I find online. In the past week, I've gone through a handful of chord songs and learned new chords to play them, but I hadn't found an open string song that I wanted to learn and play. Recently, a show called 13 Reasons Why has become very popular, and there is an episode surrounding a certain special song. The only instrument played in the song is a guitar, so I've decided to try and learn it. It's challenging so far, but I think I can learn it with enough practice.

day 3

     The product of my project is five YouTube videos of five different songs. The major steps are to first learn the techniques, learn a song using that technique, then filming that song. So far, I've practiced for 6.5 hours, and I have learned how to play the major chords and two-string open string songs. Before I started my project, I only knew five chords, and didn't know how to play open string. Now, I can even read notes, including sharps, flats, and naturals. I've also found the song that I would like to learn this week. From this, I myself can benefit, because it's a nice way to distract myself and have fun in a productive way. I can spend less time on my phone and more time leaning to do something that I enjoy. This project is worthy of my college apps because it's a hobby that I will learn on my own and dedicate a large portion of my time to. Study in C by Fernando Sor, one of the pieces I've learned.

     Over the course of the next two months, I will be learning how to play the guitar and read notes. Since four days ago, on Sunday, I've been learning the basic chords (strumming multiple strings at a time) and have started playing open string (one string at a time). Because this hobby interests me, and I've only just begun learning, I chose this as my focus for my Genius Project. An obstacle I anticipate is bringing the guitar to school. Since I've been practicing with my Dad's expensive guitar, he probably won't give me permission to bring it to school to practice with. I should come up with a compromise by finding a different guitar to bring, or by promising to take good care of it. The five basic chords that I have learned in the past week.
