OoooKkkk... My first posting.... The purpose of this blog is so the beginners in spg can come online and know and learn more about what I am going to teach them.... I will try to upload scores and useful tip on the blogs.... For now its going to be just a simple webby to see.... (Hope those html pros out there can help me out with this ugly templete.....) Ok since when i doing this posting i already taught u all abt 3 lessons..... Lets go through them here....
Lesson 1
The first lesson is in the lecture theater.... All of you can see me.... I hardly manage to see u all.....
Almost close to 90!!! of members are gathered in that theater.... 70 freshies and abt 20 current members helping me.... Everything happen so fast not all of you know what's going on.... (that including me)
You all collected your very own guitar theory book !!! yeah.... its free also.... (Actually its from the club fund you all gave).... Its not the best book out there where u can start learning guitar.... But its good enough to start the ball rolling....
If all of you can remember what happen that day.... I taught you all how to...
- Identify the parts of the guitar
- The classical way of holding the guitar and sitting position
- And last and most importantly taught you all the song "lemon tree
Point no. 1 and 2 you need to know.... but i hope u all can put in effort in practicing the 3 chords in lemon tree.... They are the Am, Em and Dm (Remember to use your pinky to hold that chord) That finger is very useful..... (Other then using it to dig your nose) Its the finger a lot of guitarist failed to train up and regretted....
Other then that.... Take note when you all trying to pluck the strings on the guitar.... make sure the thumb when you finish playing the bass string do not can caught with the rest of your fingers....
There should be quite a number of your having trouble changing your chords.... Here are some tips that i think some of your might find it helpful....
- try to play the bass string first then form your chord
- play the song slowly.... ( when your play the song slowly.... the rythum and melody will still make sense....)
- Practice
- Practice
- And practice more (haha actually everyday play about 10 mins is good enough for this song)
I myself is a lazy person.... I also hardly practice my guitar.... lolz.... It took me around 1 week to play the song smoothly.... I find music is something to enjoy with.... So when i feel i am tired, i'll just stop and go play game.... hahaha.... (bad example here... :x) Hope all of you who saw this will enjoy the song.....
