Journal - 1st of Week 3

This has been my busiest week so far. I barely had any time to get on the computer. On Tuesday I went to Mr. B’s class, but Diego, Mr. B’s assistant, wasn’t there so not much was accomplished accept for my mom picking up my guitar. On Wednesday I had my mentor meeting so I didn’t go to Mr. B’s class. On Thursday I went back and Diego was there again. He gave me a piece of paper with most of the main chords and told me that that’s what I should be learning. Then after that I practiced a couple of chords for most of 4th hour. Diego told me to start practicing changing chords which was harder than I expected. He also told me to start practicing strumming on beat; also harder than I expected but I think it just needs a little more practice.
            By sometime next week I want to have an organized idea of how I am going to start getting way better at playing the chords. The main problem with playing at home for the moment is that I don’t know how to tune the guitar. I asked Diego and he said that I should try looking something up online like a digital tuner because doing it by ear right now is kind of hard. He also told me that if I ever want to learn how to play a song that he will be happy to teach me. First I have to perfect the chords. Hopefully by next week I will be able to switch chords smoothly.
