I got a guitar...

Blog #5
I just recently aquired a guitar from my older brother. It is a 6 string acoustic and sounds great, the only problem is I dont know how to play it. He taught me a few basic things when I saw him but it wasnt enough to go writing songs or playing comfortably. I decided to look at some youtube videos about how to learn simple songs. That was cool for a while but playing only a few things over and over is boring. I decided a more fun way to get aquianted with the guitar was to just play on my own without really knowing how. I am a musical person and understand key and pitch and tone so knowing what sounds decent and not so decent is easy. So, I started improving. I came up with a few cool ideas and wrote them down in hopes that I can go back to them once I get really comfortable with the guitar. I guess I am just really excited to have a guitar and am excited to keep exploring the instrument.
