  1. I really like guitar and I think I am doing very well. I want to learn how to play like Jack Johnson and other great acoustic guitar players. I seem to be picking up on the notes really well. I already know how to play the G, A, D, E, C and Am. I try to practice as much as I can, but sometimes, I leave my guitar at school! I think I am keeping up with the class because I know all of the notes that we have been taught.

  2. I feel like I am doing really well so far in guitar. I am learning loads about the guitar and guitar players alike. I love that I am learning all sorts of songs from artists that I love, and even remaking some of them! This class is teaching me a lot about musicianship in general. I would love to be able to eventually play like Jason mraz.
    So far I think I am keeping up quite nicely with the rest of the class.

  3. I am really enjoying this class. It is a lot of fun. I think i am doing pretty well in the class. I know all of the cords that we have learned so far, its now just a matter of making my transitions a lot faster. Besides taking to long when going from a to g and c to d and other combination besides a to d then I believe that im doing quite well. And I know that i need to work extremely hard on the finger warm ups because that would be another one of my major downfalls.

  4. I really like guitar class. It is really exciting and fun. I think I'm doing okay in this class, I could do better by practicing more. But I have been practicing a little more then I use to and I think I have improved because I know most of the cords we have learned so far. I have also found easier ways to place my fingers on the guitar strings. I just need to make sure I keep up by practicing more often.

  5. I love playing the guitar, I just wish I was good at playing it but I think am getting better. I want to play as good as my dad because he is very, very good at it. I know some of the notes really well like A,D,G,E,C,Am. My dad is also teaching me how to play the into to "Welcome Home" from Coheed and Cambria. I think I am doing good in class well... well I hope so.

  6. When I first started guitar I didn't think that I would know anything. but I got use to play and I know how to play better now. I know alot more chords and how to play different styles. my goal is to be a musishun and travel the world performing at well known playes. but It will be a long while untill I get more better and can play in front of people without messing up. I like music >.<

  7. Meh… my playing skill…tis alright. I think that with a little more practice, I’ll be, as Manoah would say, “pro” at it. I mean, I’m decent at the Mexican song, and I’m getting better on the warm-ups, but the only major problem I see in the future is changing from chord to chord. But again, with a little practice, I think I’ll get it. Then again, I do have to practice…damn my laziness! Time to do a piano and guitar practice session over the weekend…again! XD

  8. Guitar is fun. I enjoy this class and am glad I am finally learning guitar. I will admit that I have not practiced as much as I should have been. I find it hard to make time. It's not that guitar is a chore, it's just that I seem to have no time. From K12, my other school work and swim; I need to learn to make time for guitar. I know the chords and I am pretty good at the Mexican song, but I still need to work on warm ups. I have a hard time on the 3rd through 1st strings. And I must work on faster transitions.
