Nov 5: Short today
My daughter spent some extra time at virtual school today, so I only had 15 minutes to play this morning. I played the songs I’ve been working on in my learning app and did pretty well, and then I played my song.
I think I’ll work on memorizing the wedding song this afternoon, since Tommy and Carter’s book 2 has caught up to Kennedy and Jason’s book 2 and I don’t want to start writing ahead.
Time to start thinking about what I’m going to write next for Kennedy and Jason. Should be a fun one! 😉
Nov 6: Short ukulele
Today kinda got away from us. I played a couple ukulele songs with my husband tonight before we put the kids to bed.
Nov 7: Full size
I played guitar at my parent’s today, which meant using my dad’s full size guitar for the first time since early July.
O.M.G.
What a difference!
I am so happy that I chose to go with my ¾, and that I went a bit more expensive and got the Fender because the neck is narrower, because wow my fingers hurt from the stretch!
This also means I played for a bigger audience than just my husband and kids.
Ngl, it was hard. At least I could blame any problems on the larger guitar!
I might do it again next week.
I could use the practice.
Nov 8: Back to normal
Going back to my guitar was so nice after playing my dad’s giant one last night.
The sounds are different too, because the strings are different.
I like mine better. Shh, don’t tell him.
It was nice to go back to normal.
Nov 9: Noel
My daughter requested I play Jingle bells today.
You know, it’s not as annoying when you’re learning how to play it rather than listening to it.
Sorry husband!
So after practicing the songs on my learning app and playing Get to Know You, I played a bunch of Christmas songs.
My fingers are really getting a workout, switching from G to D, let me tell you!!
I’m sure I’ll get faster at it soon, right?
Nov 10: Interesting thought
I played my usual learning app, my song, and a few other songs.
But peeps?
My 5yo daughter has been trying to memorize my song?
And she almost has all of it?
And you have no idea how it makes me feel that my daughter cares so much about this song that I wrote that she is memorizing it.
I almost cry every time she sings it to me.
