9/27/13 update

In terms of skills learned this week I havn't learned any due to the fact that I've taken "Good Riddance" off my list. I will begin practicing "Wagon Wheel" and "House of the Rising Sun" this weekend though! So it's not like I'm doing nothing.

September 20th Update

I've been looking at many tabs and chord lists on Ultimate Guitar so I can have a basic idea of what the songs will look and sound like when I get my guitar lowered. I have practiced "Good Riddance", already and I have the strum pattern and chords down, I just need to get my chord transitions down faster. I know a small bit of "Wagon Wheel", as it is similar to "Good Riddance", except the chord progression is a little different, and the strum pattern has a small pause in between two of the beats. I will continue to practice. Hopefully I can get my guitar fixed sometime soon so I can get the full sound out of it.

Hello, my twenty time project is learning some of my favorite acoustic songs on my acoustic guitar. I began playing guitar at the end of my ninth grade year and I love the instrument. My instructor was one of my very good friends who graduated during my ninth grade year. I love the acoustic guitar because it has a natural beauty to it's sound that is hard to replicate on other stringed instrument. While I do like the sound of an electric guitar, I would much rather start out on the acoustic and work my way up to electric. I got my guitar at the end of the summer from one of my friend's dad, of which I was very thankful for. I aim to learn the songs good enough so that I may preform one or two in front of the class if I preform at all.

I aim to have a total of at least six songs learned by the end of the semester. So far the songs I've chose are "Good Riddance" by Green Day, "Wagon Wheel" by Darius Rucker, "House of the Rising Sun" by the Animals, and "Northern Downpour" by Panic! at the Disco. I've always liked Green Day's music and "Good Riddance", is probably my favorite acoustic song by them besides maybe "When September Ends".  It was played at the graduation last year by three of my my friends and it sounded amazing! "Wagon Wheel", while it is a relatively new song, is still a great song. It has a pretty simple chord progression, but it will still take me time to learn. "House of the Rising Sun", is in my top three classic rock songs of all time. It is not a very piece to learn as I've already attempted, but I am ready to go again! There are two versions of the song, a strummed version and a plucked version. I am going to try to learn the plucked version. Lastly "Northern Downpour", is one of my favorite Panic at the Disco songs. I discovered the band while listening to Pandora radio at a friends house. As I listened to more of their music I began to like them more and more, it got to the point I learned the lyrics to a ton of their songs. So now you have a basic list of the songs I'd like to learn and the reasons why. I will be adding more as I go on in the project.

I will be adding more songs to the list as time goes on.

Update #1

So I think all I have to do before i get this started is get my guitar lowered. So we'll see how this goes.
