LAB
the activity was good. I wrote some chords. It was pretty straight forward on what I had to do.
PRACTICE ROOM
These exersizes are working very good, I am so close to memorizing the notes on the frets. I am slowly getting better at getting to know these note names.

STUDIO
Watch this informative video by Jake Lizzio. Experiment with notes on your guitar and try playing along with him. If you cannot do this play just the C note or chord every time he plays it.
I couldn’t play anything much along with Jake Lizzio. I am still very much learning how to play the guitar, it is very new to me.
CONTROL ROOM
Tune your guitar. Try recording two tracks of guitar. One with the single notes like Jake Lizzio showed you above and a second with the lower C bass notes to make a simple progression. Remember two notes playing at the same time is harmony. Keep it simple. Refer to your Quizlet Guitar Strings / Notes Flashcards if you need help remembering the guitar notes on the first three frets. Set a timer. Stop playing before you feel like Chewbacca below.
WHAT I LEARNED and PROBLEMS I SOLVED
Tell your daily story here! Highlight what you learned and enjoyed most. Problem-solving is one of the most important skills you need in life. Employers want to know HOW you get stuff done as much as WHAT you got done.
I learned that harmony is seen as a more mystical magical part of music. I really enjoyed playing guitar and using Hookpad.
