Back For More!!!

Hey! I'm finally posting here, after so so so so so so so long.... But that doesn't mean I haven't been touching Christy! I've been so much into playing my guitar, I haven't any time to spare for blogging. Even exams were not spared. I was still happily guitaring away through the exams period. I'm so happy that I've improved, a bit. Now, I'm trying to play song that requires capo. I don't have a capo now, and that's a really sad thing. I am presently using two pairs of wooden chopsticks and many many rubber bands. It work, just that it doesn't sound quite right.

That time on the last day of my MYE, which was on Thursday(the one that just passed), I went to Yamaha at Tampines to get a capo. Unfortunately it was out of stock. I made a 1 hour journey there for this to happen...*sobs*

I've been waiting for the time when I can gather with guitar players to practice together. I mean only my friends. Can't wait for December holidays to find peeps to hang out with.

I a planing to save up for capo, guitar case, more expensive strings, tuner and maybe a better pick. Feel like picking up drums and piano. Drums is because I want to train up my coordination skills. And piano is because I want to know how to play one, cause many people thinks I know how to play piano, just because when I place my hands on the piano, it looks like it comes from a piano expert....lol.

*The reason that I'm blogging now is because I am very free and have nothing to do. I can't play games cause this computer at my mum's office sucks. It doesn't have flash and no matter how I try to download it, I can't. I can just flare up anytime. Even playing discs dow gives me problems. I just wish I was at home. I had planned to do a lot of things today, but in the end it can't be done. At least it allows me time to blog and blog and blog. All random ramblings just pops out on all posts. Ha!

Little Surprise!

I'm amazed by myself, I would say. I managed to play Hosanna and I Could Sing of Your Love Forever. Now learning to play Heart of Worship. I can't sing along with whatever I can play. Neither am I able to play well. But, yes... it's surprising that I made it through self-teaching. Hosanna and Heart of Worship is a little hard. Hope to get used to everything soon. Not bad that I can still play even without the basics.

I learnt I Could Sing of Your Love Forever in one day, which was yesterday. And I learnt it in a few hours...less than 3 hours. Fast eh?

Keep going Rachel. You're doing this for God. All the Best:D

What?

Hi. Didn't post for a long time. But that doesn't mean that I didn't touch my guitar ok.
Not long ago, I changed all the strings of my guitar because the strings were snapping one after another, and I thought that it would be good if I change all, since the strings were all old and that they look different if I only choose to change some. So now, I have my old guitar with new strings.

Anyway, I have been trying to play Hosanna by Hillsong. Without knowing the basics, I think I will go very slow. And including the fact that school's going to reopen soon and I am working now, I don't really think that I can handle so many things. So I guess I'll have to let go of Christy for a while. Hosanna is considered easy to play when I'm used to it. I can't really play it right now. Not sure how horrible it may sound. I actually learnt it from an extremely good website: http://grahamchoo.blogspot.com/2007/08/christian-music.html. This guy, Graham, video his brother playing the guitar. It also includes teaching how to play and the fingerings for the chords. Very good website. Recently I just found a piece of paper with chords, for the song The Heart Of Worship. Hopping to learn how to play it after mastering Hosanna.

My dad told me that he would get me a new guitar in the future, but I think that having Christy is good enough, since I'm only learning guitar for fun. I'd rather get the money and spend it on something else or get a cover for Christy. It's not nice to see Christy be on that sewing machine, collecting dust. That's not what Christy is for.

I Want Some Noise

Haven't been touching my darling Christy for more than ten days. Since the last time I posted in this blog, I don't think I've ever even tapped my guitar. I miss it. Having CO Camp and Church Camp in two weeks is sufficient for me. All drained. Now, I want to go back to the music world that I was in previously. I want to get hold of Christy and start strumming. Whatever I play, I don't care much. Even if I were to strum just one note, it's better than nothing. I think Ive forgotten most fingerings after those days beiing out of home. Christy is dusty.

Get me a tutor for guitar please!!! I want to learn properly. Self-tutoring is not at all easy please! Especially when you have only extremely little background for music. What quickly goes in my head, comes out just as fast. So I WANT A GUITAR TEACHER!!! I can't wait till I can get to join worship comm in Church. I've been so loving music and singing and instruments. I want to get the chance to worship my Daddy in Heaven with instruments I can play well.

I don't think I will get to touch Christy till my CO concert is over and my holiday homework is done. No more time for all those, don't even talk about leaving time for something less important. I'm so sorry Christy, I've forsaken you. By truth, it's not 100% my fault. Darling, I will get back to you ASAP alright:)

Strum Along

It wasn't long when I first started to self-tutor for guitar. And just yesterday, I realised that I made a major mistake. I didn't know that for each note, the strumming does not always include all the strings. So for now, I have to relearn everything from the start. Self-taught guitar isn't as easy as I thought it was anymore. After all those hours of non-stop practice everyday, it has all been wasted. Really feel like signing up for real lessons and be serious in my practice.

Guitar With Me

Never thought that I could succeed in fixing my guitar strings. Was just testing out if I could do it myself with the same old string since it was still long enough. And guess what! I did it! Got my hands all dirty though, but it paid off. Haven't tuned it yet for now, but soon...

What should I practice today? Should I learn how to change chords faster or practice strumming? Maybe I should learn how to play more chords, since I only know how to play about 13 notes only... not a lot. Should I go for learning how to play a song? I guess it's too soon.

Why did I name my guitar Christy? Basically, this name just came to my mind. And also the fact that this guitar is going to be used for praising God, so why not use Christ for it's name and just add a Y at the back. Sounds nice.
