I began playing guitar sometime last year in the summer by my cousin. She has taught me so much, and I'm glad I am able to play many different songs as well as learn new picking and strumming patterns, I've gotten way better than I was in the beginning. It's so much fun! I am wanting to take voice lessons because when I sing, i don't sound the best. It makes me embarrassed to play in front of others because it's just awkward when you're sitting there strumming your guitar.
My strings on my guitar are really tough and the neck is a bit "wide" I guess?? So I have the hardest time strumming without a pick, especially when my fingernails are short. Anyone have this problem? It's so annoying! Anyway, I'm really bad at bar chords. I've never really have gotten the hang of them, so I try to stay away. I've gotten really fast at switching between chords, though. Compared to when I began? Oh my, it's a huge difference. o___o And learning chords wasn't too easy at first. I found out that the next time my cousin came that I wasn't even doing the right chords... fail!
Anyway, are there any songs that you'd suggest? Strumming/picking patterns? I'm always on the lookout for anything different, so just let me know what you think!
