Week Six: Time For Some Shared Learning
March 3, 2009
A rather uneventful week in the guitar practice world, so I’m thinking it’s time to do some hunting for other guitar blogs, and see what other people out there are learning…
Here’s a wonderful (and active!) blog where someone is just starting to learn guitar, and sharing some of their progress, as well as some neat clips that have inspired them. Iris (the blogger) is currently dealing with memorizing chords and getting through the pain of pressing so hard with your fingertips on the fretboard. She’s learning on an acoustic.
Lost n Sound isn’t a strictly guitar-based blog, but rather a music blog with plenty of neat stuff. A fair bit of it is guitar-related. I could play around on this site for quite some time…it’s got a diverse range of music to check out. This is the post I actually found in my searching…very interesting!
This blog got my attention too. The AA Book of the Dead isn’t about learning to play guitar either, but it has some interesting insights on musical inspiration and experiments. A very professional feeling blog.
…those were more difficult to find than I expected. Why have people stooped to using WordPress to make free advertisements? It makes it a pain to search for anything. So, if you come across this and know of a blog I should be linking to, please do share.

hey there! thanks for the mention! I like your site. I actually tried learning a couple of years ago but gave up shortly because (1) I didn’t have access to a guitar and (2) it hurts my fingers. But I’m determined to learn and play it as a hobby.
Thanks again for visiting!
p.s. yes, the pain is slowly going away and have been replaced by numbness and slight tingling sensation. haha..
