Exception

Okay....so....for as long as I can remember I have been in LOVE with the sound of acoustic guitar. I don't know what it is, but whenever I hear the guitar being played...I am smitten by it, and I fall into my own little dream world. This summer, I decided that I, Hannah Trester was going to learn to play this instrument that I love so much. A week after getting home, my friend Teri came over and we were just talking about guitars for SOME reason....and she told me that she never played her guitar anymore and it was just catching dust in her basement. THEN she told me, that I could take it! I was SOOO PUMPED. I had been all prepared to go to Guitar Works and buy a new guitar for however much money they cost....but now I could borrow Teri's!! ahhh. 

So....me & my new guitar didn't do well together at first. I TRIED hard to play....but teaching myself with Youtube videos isn't always the greatest method. My friend Nicole taught me some chords and told me what a fret was (hahah YES I was a complete amateur) I learned some chords in the first few months of summer and attempted some worship songs...but didn't really get into it. After the busy, crazy month of July, I decided that AUGUST was my month to hardcore LEARN this guitar!! SO I have set a goal for myself to practice at least for a couple minutes EVERY day of August until I am a PRO and start my own band....haha kidding. 

Today, I broke two guitar strings. I almost cried. I was tuning it....and I SUCK at tuning still....and So they snapped and I just sat there MORTIFIED. Right away, I took my guitar, got into the car and drove to guitar works. The guys who work there were VERY helpful and they gave me some pointers and sent me on my way. Today, I played guitar more than any day so far this summer....and I started to learn a new song by Paramore called ," The Only Exception." I don't know why I like this song so much....for one, it's pretty easy to learn on guitar...and it has a nice beat & for two: I'm a big Paramore fan. Anyways, I started learning it today and I am FAR from pro....but I am more motivated than EVER before to MASTER this baby! here's a sample...of my lack of skill...hahah :) One thing is true....I love the sound of guitar even MORE now that I'm starting to learn how to play it :)
