I have been practicing right handed and now I get to start learning left handed. My mentor said it would take up one of our sessions to re-string my guitar to make it left handed and so my mom decided she was going to call around to the guitar stores and she found a store in Hudson. I had to take it to the place and the man was talking to me about playing and he told me that only about 5% of the world plays left handed and it is very rare around here in this area!

Sunday November 1,2009 I spent an hour with my mentor. He watched and listened to me play my notes for "Sweet Home Alabama". He told me that I was doing great and learning fast. I have been practicing on my on and teaching myself the chords. Andrew drew out the chords and I go by that sheet of paper.

I spent an hour with my mentor last Thursday night. I had to show him that I had practiced and tat I know the A and E chords. Since I knew those two chords very well, he wrote down the G, D, and C chords and while he watched I learned to play them and then when I started getting better he got his guitar out and started playing with me! We figured that my final song is going to be Sweet Home Alabama! I am so excited that I am learning to play it fast.

I am going to try to get a hold of my mentor over the phone because he is sick and my mom dont want me to be around him. I am going to have to try ot interview him at chruch tomorrow if he comes and if he dont then I dont know what I am going to do.

I have been working on my research paper and I have 8 pages finished. I have to interview my mentor still and have a quote from him. This project is getting easier as it goes. I have certain things that I do every night. A couple of days ago I stayed up forever typing my research paper.

I have worked on my project and my webpage a lot over the past couple of days. I feel stressed over this senior project but I know in the end that it will be all worth it. I have spent some hours with my mentor learning to paly but he has also taught me some things so I can practice without him being there with him, which i think is pretty neat.

First Day Spent With My Mentor

I was so excited when my mentor pulled into my driveway. I was ready to elarn some chords. I ended up learning the E chord and the A chord in one hour of lessons. My mentor was telling me and showing me how things were going to be done when palying right handed but so far I am loving playing the guitar!
