A Note on Guitars
This post is nothing but a shameless brag. At the beginning of our program, Elizabeth – one of my friends from the class below mine – discovered and took under her wing an acoustic guitar in the students’ common room. The strings were all getting a little worn, so she took it to a local music store and had all of them changed. Ever since then, the guitar was a popular addition to our daily lives, and I soon formed a habit of practicing a little every single day. Besides a few exercises plucking individual strings in high school, I was never taught how to play the guitar properly, but over the summer I figured out h ow to play a few songs and how to – at least in theory – play most of the important chords.
