Practice session timings: 3:00pm - 5:00pm, 7:00pm - 12:00am
Total hours: 7

Today I mainly practiced "Let Her Go" by Passenger and "Counting Stars" by One Republic. "Counting Stars" required me to switch between lead and chords and this very difficult. I am still far from mastering this.
I have almost mastered playing the B major chord but barring all six strings is proving to be an obstacle.

 Today I started to learn the "Let Her Go" by Passenger and this song needed a B major chord and this one of the hardest chords other than the F major chord. It's hard because you have to bar all six strings with one finger plus play three other notes.


Today I tried playing "The Beginning" on the electric guitar while listening to the actual song and I found that it was actually easier to play while doing so.

I haven't been updating my blog recently because I have been preoccupied with homework and I guitar practice. Unfortunately I didn't keep a log of my practice sessions.

On 4/5/15 my parents finally bought me an electric guitar after a lot of pleading. The model is the Cort X6 and with it came a free electronic tuner, earphones, spare strings and a stand. I also bought the VOX Amplug metal sound filter which was a small device which converted the normal electric guitar sound into a grating heavy metal sound.

I've been practicing a lot in the past couple of days. I can now play "A Fistful of Pesos" fully and at the correct beats per minute (160 bpm which is pretty fast).

Today I just kept playing all the songs I knew randomly I was mainly focusing on the lead parts, trying to get my fingers faster and nimbler.
