Progress report – 100 Hours

In this blog I will be posting my Guitar Journey. It will be also used as a way to motivate myself to keep on playing, track my progress and improve further by taking notes after practice.

TLDR; It’s a diary.

The real Journey started in 10/23/2019 by using the website Guitar Tricks that I found by looking at random Guitar videos over the Youtube.

The Report :

Here it shows how long I’ve been playing on total (First Picture) and how much I played in this month up to 100 hours (Second Picture).

Songs I’ve learned :

Nirvana – Smells Like Teens Spirit

Deep Purple – Smoke on the Water

Judas Priest – Breaking the Law

Judas Priest – Living after Midnight

Judas Priest – Heading Out the Highway

Royal Blood – Little Monster

Ramones – Blitzkrieg Bop

Arctic Monkeys – R U Mine?

Jack White – Lazaretto (Still learning)

Jack White – Over and Over and Over (Still learning)

Obstacles :

My biggest problems at the moments are; Barre Chords (It hurts so much), string bending and lack of Rythm. I’m still not sure how to fix the Barre Chords problem, sometimes it hurts, sometimes it doesn’t, I’ve tried looking at many videos explaining on how to fix it, but I guess my hand just doesn’t feel like cooperating lol.

String bending along with Vibrato are things I’ve to keep on learning and get used to do more often.

And Rythm, my mistake was not using Metronome when I started, so I try to now use it more often, along with counting and foot tapping.

Plans and goals :

Plans for the blog are to give updates about what I’m learning / playing and to have it as a diary to keep my motivation going and be able to look at my mistakes and how to improve them.

My goals are to be able to learn someday how to improvise, be able to play Rock, Metal and Blues and do covers for fun.

Ending :

What I’ve gotten myself into lmao.
