    Beginner Chord Question

    These are all great suggestions! I have been trying to go slow, but I’m much mine my dad in that I sometimes lack patience…and think I should be able to play faster :). I will take these for a test run next practice!!

    Beginner Chord Question

    Whenever I come into the school for my lesson, I run through the chords I've learned so far and practice each one. Any tips for smoother transitions between chords? I start with Em and work through Em, G, E major, and Am...and I really clunk going from Em to Am (you'd think that'd be easy!)...

    It's been almost six months!! But I'm super stoked to have a grown up guitar, lol! I noticed I'm not muting strings this go round, and I know it's because of the full size fret board! Thank you! I'm super excited to keep sharing now that I've gotten started again!

    Thank you! I was afraid I wouldn't be able to play without starting all the way over, but it all came back! I will definitely try getting closer to the fret on my next practice! Thank you!!

    New Guitar!

    It sounds amazing! Took a bit to get it tuned (hence the broke strong, lol), but now we’re good. Once I get back at it, I’ll post a video!

    New Guitar!

    I'm so excited! Because this is my life, I already broke a string (I had strings on hand, thankfully), but it sounds so good! Am going to noodle a bit, get a feel for it, and then dive back in =). So excited to have a new guitar to play with!

    New Guitar!

    You guys!!!! Remember I was struggling with the old half-size acoustic I started with? Look what came this weekend! It’s an Ephiphone Starling beginner level acoustic. I am so excited! It’s adult size, lol! Now, pick up where I left off or start over?

    Tough times

    So Far Away. This is my anthem right now. So much bad stuff going on and it feels like we're never going to catch a break. I feel you on the dark stuff...we lost my in-laws seven months apart...and while there's a lot to do, I also feel like I need a break. So Far Away just describes my life...

    🌟Synner on display submissions! 🌟

    I can't find my Synner shirt (it's in a drawer, with hundreds of other black t-shirts, lol, and I'm too lazy to sort through them all). But I did find this pic of me at work, trying one of our poppy hats we use for the Wizard of Oz, wearing my Synner mask!

    Thank you! I have definitely found this is good for moving around the strings and remembering where the notes are. I'm a note reader and having the notes and the tab is really helping with that. I have a long way to go but I feel like it's coming finally =).

    Thank you!! I am trying to work on chords on the acoustic...and definitely have issues with muted strings. But I will keep working when I can, as I know chords are important to playing. P.S. I like your quote from Stephen King, haha!
