Quarantine with Vincent

                    Vincent was the one thing that was great about quarantine. With so much of time in my hands Vincent and I spent many hours working on learning new chords and songs. I have become more familiar with holding the strings, catching up with strumming patterns, changing between frets faster and my finger muscles have improved tremendously. I progressed through playing many songs in acoustic versions and my muscle memory has becoming better so it is easier to change between chords smoothly. The one thing I am trying to improve these days is singing along with the strumming.  I sound okay, but there are pitches and tones I try to hit with my voice, and it sounds like it could summon rats, kill birds, make ears bleed and wolves howl.

Here’s how my quarantine with Vincent went:

•        Playing a rip off version of ‘The Horse with No Name’
•      Playing ‘You Are My Sunshine’- tutorial from Good Guitarist
•         Learning to play a small customized piece of music in August Rush style
•         Playing ‘Lean on Me’ by Ben. E King- tutorial from Andy Guitar
•         Playing ‘U Smile’ by Justin Bieber- tutorial from EricBlackmonGuitar
•         Playing ‘Mistletoe’ by Justin Bieber- tutorial from GuitarZero2Hero
•         Playing ‘Perfect’ by Ed Sheeren- tutorial from 5 Minute Guitar

I never learnt any chords from the Harmony institute because classes stopped when quarantine started. I am very satisfied with my progress in learning songs. The reason I didn’t use the same channel to learn all the songs is because I don’t have a capo so I need to find the tutorials that do not use it. 😊

               This week I’m focusing on my schoolwork more prominently bcz my monthly tests are coming up, but I do work on songs with Vincent sometimes. In case you great person reading this wants to learn the above songs on guitar, I have included the name of the channels I used to learn the songs. Hope you enjoy your terrible quarantine…funfact: you never can.
