//(All these songs have included Myself,Curtis, and Angie.The only exception was week 7.)// //week 1: We did "something in the air" by tom petty. we practiced this song for about two weeks. Making sure we had a good transition from D to eM. We perfored this song infront of Mr.Mancell in groups. But we also had the option to perform alone.//

//Week 2: We learn// //ed a finger picking song named "The spanish Fandangle" with an unknown artist. It was by far my favorite song so far. It had very easy transitions so it had a nice flow. Most of the cords were fairly easy. mainly a veration of the d cord.//

//Week 3: we praticed our the songs that we had learned so far. Learning new ways to strum and transition between cords. We also learned the song "Pumped up kicks" by Foster the People. This song was the beggining of the rising difficultly.//

//Week 4: We have praticed the "Pumped up Kicks" song as well as what we are doing right now (Which is making our blog.) Link to tutorial:// []

week 5: This week we had the choice to perform our own song. My group and I are doing a song called "Threshold" by Sex Bob-omb. threshold - Sex bob-omb []

week 6: we learned "grenade" bruno mars. This week the cords had more difficulty. such as two different bar cordsd (B flat and an F). We also finger picked a D and an Am for the intro.

week 7: we are going to learn "Bad to the bone" george Thorogood. This was our best perfomance yet. The song consisted of the G and C cord.

week 8: We are learning "one tin soldier" by the original caste. This song was fun to play and somewhat easy to learn. Its main cord that seemed to be a problem for me was the F bar cord. song link: []

week 9:This week we are going to learn a song called "Hotel Yorba" by the White Stripes. The cords in this song were fairly basic, but i had trouble with the maintaibning the a consistent strumming pattern. tutorial link: []

week 10: This week our song was chosen by Angie. It is "Re your brians" by Jonathan Coulton. This song just like last week, i was having trouble with the strumming pattern. My main problem was with the F cord. It was hard to recover and continue the song. tutorial link: []
