Guitars, Moped's and Aeroplanes

Hi All,
Great first class sorry it took me so long to post. If you weren't there you missed the fun of rocking to cool girl songs.

1.) The songs we worked on were "Black Boys On Mopeds" and "Who'll Stop the Rain".
2.) We worked on the 3/4 strum on the Sinead tune and the idea of emoting through the guitar.
3.) Practice slow. Do not practice "up to speed", practice at " thinking speed.

Next Week:

1.) Review "Black Boys On Mopeds" and "Who'll Stop the Rain".
2.) Introduce "My Generation" and "Bad Reputation".
3.) Introduce the bass note strum and the pause as ways to keep time.

I hope that you are having a great week! See you soon in class!!!
