So at least the noise isn't amplified!

Chords. That was the theme for Febethon Day 7.

After the distinct lack of success yesterday with the attempt to play any kind of tune I decided that consolidation was the order of the day. (I also couldn't quite recall where my guitar book was, but we won't mention that little contributory factor.)

And so I played, for about 15 minutes, the 6 chords I could remember (basically C-A major chords). I also managed three minors after a bit of brain-dredging. Moving between them is still proving - well, challenging. But however slow my progress surely it must all be helping, this persistent strumming of one chord followed by a pause, some muttering, and then a different chord?

In the meantime though, while I improve my musicianship and skills (well if I don't claim great advances, I'm sure no-one else will credit me with them) I do wonder what my poor neighbour is making of this latest idiocy! Luckily at least I only have a bog standard cheap acoustic guitar - so she is not being subjected to amplified buzzy muffled chords, just quiet (but still probably not very tuneful and definitely rather buzzy) versions.

Remind me,.dear blog-reading insomniacs, that I need to check with her quite how grateful she is for such small acoustic mercies!
