i'm combining last week's and last night's lessons into one blog. partly because i was lazy and didn't write one last week, but also because these two lessons go hand in hand.
ok, so i'm making some progress. moving along in my lesson book. i've started on a couple of new songs (one of which is a blues tune!!!), and we also talked about chords and chord progressions. thanks to this music theory book i read about a year ago, i was already familiar with the concept. but understanding what theory is and using it are two very different animals.
along with practicing songs from my book, this week i'll be playing around with making up a melody to put over the top of a simple chord progression. ahh... the first steps in possibly writing my first song!
until next time....
