Almost got a song down!

Today, I came home and started playing my guitar. I printed out a chord sheet and the song "Good Riddance - The Time of Your Life" by Green Day. I've basically got the entire song down. The only things that I need to work on are switching between chords in tempo with the song. I plan to have the song down by the end of this week, and start on a new song this weekend. I might be putting up audio of me playing the guitar when I've got it perfect, so stay tuned for that!
P.S. My friend lent me his guitar until I find time to get new guitar strings. Thank you Luke!

Sorry fo the late post!

Okay, the last Google day was last week and I'm sorry for getting back so late. But that Google day was great. I learned and was able to play well the G, C, and D chords. With those chords, I can now play a new song. I haven't played any songs that I want to perform yet, but since my cross country season is ending tomorrow, I'll have a lot more time to practice. Can't wait to learn some more chords and songs!

Time to Uncover Some Difficulties...

I've encountered my first major difficulty with this project. Namely, my guitar. The guitar is too old, or the strings are too old, for me to get it in tune, so I'm going to have to take it in to a music store to get it fixed. That leaves me with a bit of a problem. Until I have the guitar fixed, I can't practice. To get around that problem, I'm learning chords. Figuring out how the chord tabs work, and how to get my fingers on the board. A couple of weeks in, and I'm still learning chords. Don't worry, songs will come soon!

First Post!

Hi everybody!
I'm Kaitlyn, and today was the first day of the Google 20% project that the band program at my school is doing. For my project, I'm learning how to play the guitar and then I'll probably do a duet with one of my friends who is also playing the guitar. Today was fairly easy, I got my very old guitar mostly in tune and I learned to play a couple of chords. Can't wait to actually learn some songs!
