Music Lessons Week 2
Today at music lessons, I went with Jackie and Hannah. Firstly we tuned our guitars. Then we talked to Mr. McCalum. The first song we practiced was Nga Iwi E. Then we did 12 bar blues. Twelve bar blues sounds really good with the piano too. The reason I started doing guitar was because I thought it would be a challenge and nice to try something new. I am finding two cords hard. They are called C and Bm. In case if you haven't read any of my other posts, Bm stands for B minor. I enjoy guitar lot's.

Guitar Lessons Week 1

Today at guitar lessons, we went over all the songs we had learnt in term 1 and 2. The first song we played was Ni ewe e then 12 bar blues, ten guitars, firefly's and a whole heap of other songs. Then we started learning hallelujah. On guitar the cords needed for hallelujah are- D, G, C, Bm and A7. The hardest cords would have to be C and Bm. Bm means B minor. The first cord I learnt was E minor. Then D, E7, G and so on. My favorite song would have to be 12 bar blues because, it has a good tune to it when Mr. McCullum does it on the piano at the same time we are doing it on the guitar. I was a little rusty and had forgotten most of the cords, because it has just been the holidays. So it took me a while to do the songs. The only thing I don't like about guitar is learning new songs, because they are hard and you have to learn new cords.
