"Complete Guitar" by Steve Mackay, Research

Due to the recent closing of Borders, a nearby bookstore, I have been able to get a bunch of new reading material and research for my WISE project at a cheap rate. One of these that I am excited to learn from is called Complete Guitar. This is a book and DVD set that gives the reader a basic overview of guitar playing such as chords, tuning, and actually playing it. With my mom's old guitar being currently tuned and fixed at a music shop by our house, whose name eludes me, I am ready to begin work on the second part of my project, the half that includes the performances at local coffee shops and/or talent shows. I feel that if I am able to learn at least the basics of an instrument, it will make my shows in the future much better because it won't be just me singing. In addition I feel that because of my inevitable nerves, my hands would fidget and a guitar will fix that problem. After going through this book and DVD I hope to have a basic understanding of how to play the guitar and will be able to learn the chords of the soon to be determined songs I will perform. I have wanted to try my hand at guitar for a while so this is an especially exciting time for me.

Wish me luck and come to the performances of the Wiz (April 7th to 10th),
