This weekend I have been practicing my 3 songs for the final video. I found myself sitting and just going through the motions of the chords without playing. Then I would just do the strumming pattern. This was super helpful for gaining that muscle memory. Each of my songs has a different strumming pattern. I have been playing around with Don’t Worry, Be Happy’s because there are a few options but I found down, up, down to be the easiest with all of the chord switches. I have been playing along with videos on youtube that just have the instrumental music. This is the easiest for me because the notes on sheet music can be very small and hard to keep your place on. I have really enjoyed learning this new skill and I am going to be looking at maybe renting the instrument for longer or getting my own.
