It's Almost Friday!

Totally better than anything else on the internet. Or, y'know. It will be soon enough.

Guitar for noobs.

A few weeks ago, I started teaching myself guitar. Not really through books, I was just playing a John Mayer song on Piano, saw the chord chart and thought, "Hey, that makes sense." I picked up dad's guitar and just... tried. Now I only know a few chords. They're like...

D, Em, F, C, Bm, E, G, A, Am, Dmaj7, Gmaj7

A few others maybe. Just basics.

My friend gave me a huge list of songs that can be played with these chords. They're AWESOME.

Here are a few songs that are simple enough for someone like me to play. If you want to play them, it's easy enough to find the chords. Go to Google and type in the artist and song + chords, and click on the link to Ultimate-Guitar.com. For example, if you want to play "Comfortable" by John Mayer, write, "Comfortable John Mayer Chords" into Google. Ok Here we go:

• Comfortable - John Mayer
• Give Love a Try - Jonas Brothers (This song is REALLY good if you're trying out Tabs, because it's really simple and repetitive, but it sounds really nice~)
• All The Same - Sick Puppies
• Love Song - Amiel
• Bitter Heart - ZeeAvi ( I think that's right. I'm not sure. Another good one if you're trying tabs)
• Dance Dance Christa Paffgen - Anberlin
• Fallin' - Alicia Keys (It's only two chords!)
• If I Ain't Got You - Alicia Keys
• Hallelujah (That song from Shrek... Hmmm... I don't know who sings it.)
• Hate That I Love You - Ne-Yo
• I Don't Wanna Miss A Thing - Aerosmith
• I Gotta Feeling - Black Eyed Peas
• I'm Like A Bird - Nelly Furtado
• Broken Strings - James Morrison and Nelly Furtado
• You Give Me Something - James Morrison
• Last Christmas
• Mad World - Gary Jules
• Paparazzi - Lady GaGa
• She Will Be Loved - Maroon 5
• Why Does It Always Rain On Me - Travis
• Wow, I Can Get Sexual, Too! - Say Anything
• Won't Go Home Without You - Maroon 5
• Your Body Is A Wonderland - John Mayer (If you can co-ordinate this, it's easy enough.)
• Always All Ways - Lostprophets
• Broken Hearts, Torn Up Letters and the Story of a Lonely Girl - Lostprophets
• Buses and Trains - Bachelor Girl
• Come Back To Bed - John Mayer
• Rooftops - Lostprophets

Be careful. I'm a year 12 student. Guitar is addictive. Last year of high school, exams are soon and I'm wasting my study time playing guitar. Uh oh...

This blog: an excuse to rant about music.

This is me:

• Not some pro that's awesome at music, but hopefully I will be one day.
• Doesn't know much theory, only basics - if you talk to me about sustained 9ths and seven-infinity-famillion chords, I'll look at you blankly.
• Likes to blog
• Likes to rant about all things music-related

So I made this blog.

It'll be updated when I feel the need to update.
Have a nice day.

Sometimes when I freestyle, I lose confidence.
