=**__Andrew Lim__**= =**__Guitar 11__**=

A relatively old pianist, but still playing; I'm still undertaking music in Gleneagle's fine music programs, and most recently thrown into Guitar 11 because Grade 10s aren't allowed off-blocks. Nonetheless, I still enjoy it to the fullest and would like to continue devoloping skills in guitar as well as improving my knowledge of chords for piano. I enjoy most music, excluding western pop, rock, & whatnot. Additionally, I enjoy a wide variety of video games across all the current consoles (save for XBox, it's horrid). Still a beginner at guitar.
 * Profile**

-Forgot everything in Middle School guitar. -Relearnt chords G, D, Em -Relearnt how to strum, up and down -Learnt to fingerpick three strings in succession. Songs: Something in the Air/Spanish Fandango
 * Week One:**

Learnt chords A, D7, C Songs: Stand by Me / Pumped up Kicks Current dilemmas: getting that group performance coordinated
 * Week Two/Three:**

Chords chart, get. Crappy old Fender Stratocaster get. Do I have any other hardware? No. Songs learnt: Cat Stevens - Father and Son, Ben E. King - Stand by Me. Current dilemmas: Getting a performance song down; all the ones I want to do are too hard. Yar, har, fiddle-dee-deeing some Guitar Pro 5. Need it badly. Torrent where?
 * Week Four:**

Chords learnt: bar chords B, F#, G#/m, E chord. Songs learnt: Jason Mraz's "I'm Yours" in three keys Need to learn a new song for performance some time in the next two weeks. Thinking of Cee-lo Green's "Forget You", in all its' radio-friendliness.
 * Week Five/Six:**

Due to lack of space, tutorials goes in link form as below: [] [] []

And this song being the one I want to do: [] No tutorials yet, but you can hear the rhythm clearly, and that's good enough for a musical ear to transcribe to tablature and whatnot.

"Grenade" by Bruno Mars, done in 6/8 time, but not necessarily done well. Chords: B flat, D flat minor, Am, A7, G flat minor, and F.
 * Week Seven:**

Cee-lo Green's "Forget You" (radio version), which was only three chords long. Transposed from C down to A. Strangely enough, it sounds completely different without melody. Got Guitar Pro, now tabs are just too hard.
 * Week Eight:**

"One Tin Soldier" by the Original Caste, played horribly. Had it down pat BEFORE performing and unfortunately failed pretty hard on this performance. Also, Jingle Bells! In November! When Christmas is still a month away!
 * Week Nine/Ten:**

Need new song. Flight of the Conchords, perhaps. Their stuff is still too hard though. Issues: Amaj7, F#m7, Bm7, D, E, Dmaj7, C#m7. They do bar chords, I do not. media type="youtube" key="EmLHOGT0v4c" height="315" width="420" So very ready for winter break.
 * Week Eleven:**
 * Week Twelve:**

Winter break over, need to make a song.
 * Week Thirteen:**

Done song, will have to eventually place here, but would rather not. This week, I will probably attempt to perform something that is not above mentioned song. media type="youtube" key="O5WFAyJngGg" height="187" width="252" Give me eight years like my piano: I'll get there.
 * Week Fourteen:**
 * Long-Term Goals:**


 * A song:**

There’s a place around, that I’d rather be and it’s nowhere close to near. The summers pass on by so fast, but still I’m stuck in here.

Wishin’ I were bolder, that I could be older, wish that I could make some cash. Gotta go to school to make myself more useful but it’s way too boring now.

I can’t get a job ‘cause I’m too young, I don’t know what I’m gonna do with myself.

Caught up in all these choices that I have to make right now. I would give an explanation but I really don't know how.

Too many things to get done, things that I have to go run, that I should go finish up. Everything's so tedious, I can't really keep this up 'cause I'm so <span style="font-family: Times New Roman,serif;">tired now.

<span style="font-family: Times New Roman,serif;">I can’t get a job ‘cause I’m too young, I don’t <span style="font-family: Times New Roman,serif;">know what I’m gonna do with myself.
