Still plugging away

Haven't written in a while because I've had better things to do I guess. I read my last post from March and it almost seems strange now that I had problems with my arm. It's not that I've all of a sudden turned into a guitar pro but I can't even remember the last time my arm bothered me at all and that is a great feeling.

I've been going through a lot of practice and I've been trying to play more songs that have bar chords and I'm slowly getting better at it. Playing 'All my loving' from the Beatles still gets my arm tired but as I mentioned never painful.

My son and I can play along with 'Nowhere man' from the Beatles pretty good now and that is fun to do. I still have to remind him to practice but he has a lot more talent at drums than I have at guitar so it does not seem to matter than he only practices once a week sometimes.

I have found that I need to start learning my theory a little better so I'm trying to train myself to know all the notes on the fretboard. This makes it a lot easier to play movable chords.

The toughest song I've tried to tackle so far was 'God only knows' from the Beach Boys. Beautiful song but very difficult to play for me so I can't say that I'm able to perform than one well enough for anyone to listen to. I've kind of given up on it for now but at some point I know I will want to pick that up again.

Don't want to stay up late writing so I'll call it quits for now. Until the next rant ...
