My MGP! The four songs I play are: “Ours” by Taylor Swift, “Fallen” by Sarah Mclachlan, “Girl you’re taking home” -by Ella Langley, & “Danny’s song” by Loggins and Messina. I had so much fun working on this project!

I picked up my guitar today for the first time in three years! I started by tuning — it was very off-key. Then, using my old binder of music, I re-learned some basic chords and strumming patterns. After whining about my sore fingers (not really), I started practicing! I picked through my binder and found four simple songs to start with. These included: “Ours” by Taylor Swift, “Riptide” by Vance Joy, “Hallelujah” by Leonard Cohen & “Ride the Wave” by Boyce Avenue. I practiced for about forty minutes. I had so much fun playing and am looking forward to picking it up again tomorrow. For your entertainment, I have created a collection of some of my playing snippets! This way, at the end of this term, I can look back at my starting point and see how far I’ve come.

As you can see in the video, my playing is very rocky and unpolished, but hey, it can only get better from here!
