The G chord and the Game




Last night I was finally able to play the G chord in my new guitar. My brother, who new how to play, showed me how it was done. He played the scale and one peice that I was supposed to learn in the first lesson. He asked my other sister to sing the song (Leaving on a jet plane) while he played. That was the first time he played for us. I guess he kinda got excited when he saw that I was serious about learning. At first he didn't see that I already had a guitar, (I forgot to mention it to him yesterday) he kept saying we both buy one each. Upon seeing my new guitar he immediately took it and insisted that I play the scale. So being the opportunist that I am, I told him to show me how. Viola! I had an instant tutor. It wasn't easy I have to memorize each chord and learn how to properly hold each string. I have to press my fingers onto the string until I had an indentation of the strings on my fingers. The G chord was enough for that evening.


I got home late last night due to the fact that the basketball game took longer than excpected. If you love action, drama, horror and suspense then you should have seen the game last night. It was better than any novel ever written. The action was the game itself. It was a showcase of good and terrible players. I commend our team since we had only 7 players while the other team had 15. The drama took place when one of our players tried to walk out on the game - I guess the pressure became to much. The horror was one of the women (she wore a navy blue shirt with a white wide collar) from the other team tried to get a rise out of us. She was actually a horror to look at. An UGLY (yoo-gli) scene that was. Finally the suspense was when we didn't know who actually won. There was some complaints being threshed out at the last 2 seconds of the game my officemate and I had to leave we couldn't wait any longer for the results. Better than a novella di ba?

Are you playing the 'G' with 1st, 2nd, and 3rd fingers, or 2,3,4? I found it's useful to learn both ways (though maybe one is enough at this point), as with the second way it's quicker to switch to 'C', or to play 'G' but use your 1st and 2nd fingers to shuffle on the 'C' chord notes (ala The Who's 'Squeeze Box'...maybe your brother would know what I'm talking about?). At least you're making progress...Keep at it!
