Sydney+12

My name is Sydney McArthur and I like potatoes. But that has nothing to do with the fact that I'm in guitar 11. I like music and guitar and singing and so I thought it would be a great idea to take a class in music, well, guitar anyways. My goal is to improve in guitar seeing as that's how I tend to waste my time at home, so I thought it would be helpful to learn more. I have experience in guitar and vocals and they are both hobbies of mine. SO, what I hope to achieve is basically improving.

Progress has been peachy. Practicing with the one and only Donya has been quite a joy. I'm still not 100% on alot of things and I would like to get the bridges down pat for the songs, The Only Exception and Our Song. I also want increase my knowledge of the song, The Funeral by Band of Horses. Other than that, everythaang is good.

The first performance of the year. Performed with Donya. Twas great. Went first. Nailed it. Then I got the chords to the song, Brown Eyed Girl by Van Morrison, which is actually a pretty catchy song, even though I've heard it before and even though im not a brown eyed girl I still like it. PLUS I got the bridge all figured out for the only exception. yayayya! I'm going to start going though all the songs I know on guitar and refresh my memory. Other than that, all is swell. BYE.

JUST GOT BACK FROM SPRING BREAK. I'm actually not that stoked about it but hey, more guitar. The last song performed was Pumped Up Kicks by Foster the People. I guess it went good. But right now we're learning I'm Your's by Jason Mraz. To be compleatly, 100% honest, I love this song dearly. Other than that, progress is pretty good.

The last performance we did was I'm Your's by Jason Mraz. I guess it was okay. The beginning was a little rusty.. well.. very rusty but whatever. We are currently trying to find a song to play for our next performance that involves a bar chord... yay.. I mean YAY! Anyways, bye.

SOOOO. Donya and I performed Upside down by Jack Johnson on Friday. It was pretty good. I kinda hope to get bar chords down pat before the end of the year. Guitar class is kind of the highlight of my day. ANYWAYS. This week, Donya, Anthony, Macguire and I are going to perform a song in which case we haven't chosen it yet. AND Donya and I are going to perform our own song in which we have not named. THIS WEEK SHALL BE SWELL.
