Progress!
Skipping a day of guitar class actually slows you down more than you'd think. I caught up with the rest of the class but it took more focus than usual. Mr. Bautista is teaching us the 4th string songs. I only learned one of them out of the three. I like feeling the challenge though. The songs that we have to play are a lot harder than the ones before because we even have to learn how to read chords. The chords on a staff are hard to read because you have to process all three notes in your mind before you can play it. It's interesting though, and I feel like I'm learning something.
Today I have to do my Historical Newsletter. I looked up the history of guitar and I found this article on http://www.guyguitars.com/eng/handbook/BriefHistory.html. It says that guitar can be traced back to about 4000 years ago. Of course the standard model has changed multiple times throughout history, but the basic mechanism has been used for a very long time.
