Learning Guitar

Since September 2012, I began to learn to play guitar from my roommate Xiaoxi Bi and also from videos online. Here is some record for my learning. Hope one day I can post some audios record by myself.

What I have learned:
Wonderful tonight by Eric Clapton: finger pick, part of it, solo part to be learned
小手拉大手 by 梁静茹: basic folk strum, almost the whole song
恋爱ing by 五月天: the cord is similar to 小手拉大手
恰似你的温柔 by 蔡琴: learn from Ma.shushu, chord: Dm, G7
Happy birthday song: learn from Ma.shushu, combine single-tone and chord
Anonymity: first song of classic guitar that Xiaoxi learned
老男孩 by 筷子兄弟: the whole song, learn from Ma.shushu
晴天 by 周杰伦: prelude and simple strum version, learn from Ma.shushu. Although the song is simple, it's hard for me to sing when playing guitar. One day when I waited for the train at the subway in New York, I suddenly realized how to sing with the strum. What I do is understanding the beat of lyric and strum first and then combine them together. When I got it, the train arrived at the station "Jay", the English name of 周杰伦.
米店 by 张玮玮: three fingers
拥抱 by 五月天: slow soul, 4 chords, learn from Guitar Handbook
彩虹 by 周杰伦: just the prelude, learn from Ma.shushu
南方 by 达达乐队: slow soul, learn from Xiaoxi

What I am learning:
Tears in heaven by Eric Clapton, learn from Youtube.
1984 by 梁晓雪: first impressed by its beautiful prelude, recommended and taught by Xiaoxi
爱很简单 by 陶喆: learn from Guitar Handbook and Ma.shushu.
我的心真的受伤了 by 张学友: practice Bm cord, learn from Guitar Handbook

What I am going to learn
遇见 by 孙燕姿: the hardest song I heard so far


This summer, I took the Introduction to Guitar course. It was really useful and interesting course. The professor equipped us with fundamental music theory and skills for playing guitar. And I realized I should spend more time on the basic practice.
