myself how to play the guitar.

I took a trip to the local public library and came across this video, it was the only video I could find on guitar lessons. The video is for 6

The End
• So what did I learn from this assignment?• #1 lesson- I am a hands on learner who really needs
a Guitar Instructor to teach me how to play the guitar.
• #2 lesson-Practice, practice, practice!!! I spent more time jumping from reading and watching videos with hopes of learning when in reality I just need to keep on practicing one chord at a time till I felt I have mastered it then move on to the next chord. Lesson learned
