Today was my first day to played guitar since I was in Vermont. Because I haven't had a chance to play guitar since I was here. Anyway, my guitar teacher borrowed me a guitar which was nice and cool today. However, it lost a string, though. Thus, I played my guitars solo slightly without G major. And my feelings of guitar was coming back.
Thursday, September 25, 2008
Since I touched guitar yesterday, my mind was like full of passions about guitars so much. However, I can't read guitars words, though. The guitar words are like totally different compared to Taiwan's. Because without specific words, like G, A, C, and stuff like that, its hard to know what to play. Anyway, still figuring out solutions.
Friday, September 26, 2008
It's getting better .. my guitar skills are like OK... however, I think its time for me to know about what music words are. That is the plan I'm going to do this week. And perhaps pratice some skills or songs from the book teacher just gave me.
Saturday, September 27, 2008
What a weekend. I feel like tough to live without guitar. Thus, I basically surfed on the Internet, checking out news about guitar and trying to get understand of guitar notes and stuff like that.
Sunday, September 28, 2008

Monday, September 29, 2008
I got couple ideas about guitarist from the assignments. They inspired me something interesting. The most importantly, those successful guitarists never gives up on what they trying to do and have a faith to do so. It's like guitar occupies eighty percent of their minds. No practice today.
Tuesday, September 30, 2008
Finally touched guitar again, I was very hyper though, because I tried new chords I learned from the Interent, which was amazingly cool. Plus, keep recording my music life like this is fantastic as well. I tried to figure out what music notes are today and I'm trying to familiar with them now.

Since I recorded my guitar solo Thursday, I realized I have to learn something new to train my guitar skills. Thus, I went to some place that people are teaching guitar. Today I have learned Romantic song .. but I couldn't recall what exactly that name is.
Sunday, Oct 12, 2008
Sunday is fantastic to me as usaul. Because today its like the day that I played guitar outside classroom. I went to my friends house and borrowed some guitars and played for like an hour and half.
Monday, Oct 13, 2008

Wednesday, Oct 15, 2008
For my fingers own good, I didn't play guitar today. I went on several websites that teach me how to read guitar tabs. And I started have some basic knowledge about guitar tabs. But I feel like using guitar tabs are somehow more complicated than the way I used to play.
Thursday, Oct 16, 2008
The guitar pitch was wrong, I've tried to fix it. However, its like not working. Anyway, what I learned today was "practice sequence". I tried to memorized them at the same time so that I don't get confusing.
Friday, Oct 17, 2008
I actaully played a lot guitar songs today. Because its like I found an acoustic guitar in my dorm and its like brand new. Anyway, I still played some songs back in my dorm, because I found a guitar songs book in my dorm as well. Thus, I felt like this was an oppuntunity to enlarge my knowlegde of guitar.
Saturday, Oct 18, 2008
I hope I would I find out what the guitar book includes, teaches, tells us. Because its like a mysterious guitar book and it really caught my attention on it. I tried to learn some tips today also.
Suunday, Oct 19, 2008
As usual, I played guitar that I found in my dorm and chill for an hour or so. Because its like relaxing when there is a acostic guitar and pro guitar book. As long as there is a guitar in my dorm, I feel like I will practice like crazy every day.
Monday, Oct 20, 2008
Today was great .. because the lecture from teachers was good. It was about that we would have practicing tomorrow and things like that. I felt like its gonna be fun though .. and Im looking forward for tomorrow.
Tuesday, Oct 21, 2008
It was amazing today because we did a pair practicing .. and its like you can share your skills with your partner and things like that. Anyway, I felt like this kind of practice impresses me a lot.
Wednesday, Oct 22, 2008
I really reliazed that cutting nails is the fundemental thing to do in order to be a decent guitar player, because it's like when you have long nails, you can hardly play good songs or solo. And I really think I should pack a nailcutter in my guitar pack or anything like that.
Thursday, Oct 23, 2008
According to my observation, I noticed that my self evaluation is bit of differnt compared to peer evaluation. I selected most of the bottom options in my own evaluation, however, my peer evulation didn't have many selection down in the bottom. Thus, I basically think that maybe some of the selections are not completed.
Friday, Oct 24, 2008
I am satsified that I can play guitar though. Because its like listening music that play by yourself is a great pleasure. Plus, I can learn tons of things from people who are good at guitar as well. Thus, I think the peer editing was not bad.
Saturday, Oct 25, 2008
Midterm Week is coming though. Thus, I didn't bother to borrow guitar from other dorm's people. Thus, I went on Ricci Adams websiter and tried to learn more things from it.
Sunday, Oct 26, 2008
Sunday is significant to me, I always trying to get a guitar and chill down all the stresses I have. However, my plan didn't work out today, I basically read all the notes and book that teachers gave to me.
Monday, Oct 27, 2008
Today was lecture day, I heard the assignment from teacher taught us. And I think its going to be interesting if I can fully understand the concept of chords. Thus I jut down notes and tried to understand them.
Tuesday, Oct 28, 2008
Preparing for midterm test today .. and i went through ricci adams and couple chords webiste though.
Wednesday, Oct 29, 2008
Basically today I did something speical .. I figured out that I can recongize most of the notes from Ricci Adam. I think I gradually learn how to play guitar without notes though.
Thursday, Oct 30, 2008
Midterm Day, I think I was doing ok when I was doing my test .. beause its like most of the questions I can just write it down without using an internet.
Friday, Oct 31, 2008
Halloween Day, as usual, listening music and did many sight readings things. I graudally noticed that it's important to notice the melody from the music I hear everybody.
Saturday, Nov 1, 2008
I started learning new chords today, because its time to change sight reading materials. So, I went on chords website and copied down couple chords and practice the feelings of chords.
Sunday, Nov 2, 2008
I think I should have went musicail concert, though. Because I need something new to fresh my guitar skills. I am not going to improve if I keep practicing alone and things like that.
Monday, Nov 3, 2008
I practiced this song called "pieces" .. but its just a beginning .. I havent really got the whole chords and melody yet.
Tuesday, Nov 4, 2008
Since I learned how to read guitar notes .. everything gets easier .. so I think I will learn much more songs recently .. I practiced "pieces" still today.
Wednesday, Nov 5, 2008
I learned couple solos today .. they were great .. they kept my figures flexible and skillful .. tomorrow is gonna be the day to practice whole songs.
Thursday, Nov 6, 2008
Gradaully getting it .. I've learned couple parts of my favorite songs and I focused on the melody today. I felt like the melody would be one of the most important things to practice.
Friday, Nov 7, 2008
I tried to learn how to switch the tones of guitar. It was good today, because I have never tried this before. And I felt like I didn't do it well. Maybe I have to redo again.
Saturday, Nov 8, 2008
Today I strengthened my fingers stability and enhance guitar chords. And I tried to switch the tones of guitar as well. It didn't work out pretty well like yesterday.
Sunday, Nov 9, 2008
I happened to broke the strings of the guitar. So I basically did sight reading and things like that. The next thing I would like to learn is how to determine which chords to play when you first hear unfamiliar songs.
Monday, Nov 10, 2008
Basic guitar warm up today. I warmed up my fingers then I played the songs I practiced recently. It was good today.
Tuesday, Nov 11, 2008
Day-Off Today, which means no school then. So I stayed at dorm and did couple research on guitar history. I wondered why would guitar be so famous and things like that.
Wednesday, Nov 12, 2008
Packing up for DC trip, though. However, I plan to do my musician process progress within these short vacations days. I think I am going to some research on guitarists. Because I am interested in how they become successful and things like that. Plus, I wonder how they practice.
Thursday, Nov 13, 2008
In DC, I paid 10 bucks for internet to get some information on the internet. It was worthwhile somehow, I enjoyed searching new music on music website, though. I did some search on guitarists anyway.
Friday, Nov 14, 2008
Second day in DC, I paid another 10 bucks for internet again. Thus, I got a chance to search great songs again. Besides, I was so eager of playing guitar. Thus, the only thing to express my feelings is to learn new chords on chords website.
Saturday, Nov 15, 2008
Third day in DC, another 10 bucks again. I felt I am crash. Anyway, I did it for some reasons. I did it for my music progress, though. So, I did some chords practice again. I felt I enhanced my ability of recongizing chords.
Sunday, Nov 16, 2008
Last day in DC, no more Internet. Because we were taking off in the early morning. Thus, I kept thinking guitar chords in my mind, just for practicing some new songs.
Monday, Nov 17, 2008
It was awesome today, I did my UNIT 7 today. Seems like everything is accomplished, I took a glance at new music as well.
Tuesday, Nov 18, 2008
Brilliant day, did some search on music drives. The music drive is as if library, you can find piles of things there.
Wednesday, Nov 19, 2008
Another practice day .. I tried my new chords into my solo. It sounds like perfect though. I felt like making songs yourself is kinda fantastic.
Thursday, Nov 20, 2008
I didn't practice a lot today. To be candid, what I did today was just sight reading on famous songs, like I don't want to miss a thing by Aerosmith. And it really help me in some ways, though.
Friday, Nov 21, 2008
To be candid, I didn't do lots of practices today, though. Even though I am so desepartely try to improve my skills. However, practice and repetorie stuff must be equal. I don't think it would be too good to do only one part mostly.
Saturday, Nov 22, 2008
Time to get ready for my guitar warm up, I did couple songs today. As usual, I solo a little bit and then I switch the guitar tone in order to get ready for new songs.
Sunday, Nov 23. 2008
Recongizing guitar tabs are not difficult. Even though I had difficutiles of reading that. Anyway, I felt like reading guitar tabs and doing songs practicing is interesting, though. I figure out lots of briliiant songs from them.
Monday, Nov 24, 2008
I had a new interesting stuff to try on today. It's guitar pro ! This software is just amazing, you learn songs from listenling songs it plays. Plus, music gollum has like tons of songs for me to try on. I guess I can learn lots of new songs from it then.
Tuesday, Nov 25, 2008
It is not easy to play songs smoothly when you have difficulties to touch the strings. It's like you always have to keep your hands smooth and relax so that you don't play too terrible. But don't get too overwhelming, you just need to flex your fingers. That's all .. !
Wednesday, Nov 26, 2008
Practice makes perfect. This idiom doesn't apply to guitar skills, though. As teacher claimed, " practice only makes you go further, it doesn't make you perfect". I totally agree with him now. And now I think I should enhance my skills by different ways.
Thursday, Nov 27 2008
Due to my new ideas, I have to cross this great wall in order to improve, I used the software teacher just gave to us, Guitar Pro. I basically think it's the great software to us.
Friday, Nov 28 2008
Another friday comes, I always think that friday is a special day, I always do different things in friday. Because I nearly do lots of works in the weekend. Thus, I play guitar pro again and start learning new songs from it.
Saturday, Nov 29 2008
It's such a good vacation, I barely did lots of works. And I felt like the vacation is just gone like three seconds. I decided not to play guitar pro again. I felt like I should do sight reading stuff again. So I reserached on the Internet for guitar stuff again.
Sunday, Nov 302008
Last day of vacation, I didn't do anything special. The only magnificent thing I did probably was chatting with my guitar friends, exchanging ideas about our future plan and things like that.
Monday, Dec 1, 2008
Finally, vacation is over. Now I can participate and learn some more things in music class again. I learned some tips from Mr. Freebern today. It was great but deep.
Tuesday, Dec 2, 2008
We basically talked about what we have been doing, practicing recently. I think there has been some effecs on me, though. Even though it's not a great change or anything.
Wednesday, Dec 3, 2008
I focused on my guitar chords again. I thought it would be easy if I keep practice them. However, I felt I have ability of making chords into a song, which is a cool thing.
Thursday, Dec 4, 2008
I used to read guitar chords to play guitar songs. But I recently found out a faster and easier way to play guitar songs easily. That is, guitar notes.
Friday, Dec 5, 2008
Guitar notes really helped me greatly. Now I can recongize every single notes of guitar, which enlarged my guitar skills even more.
Satureday, Dec 6, 2008
I rarely practice a lot on saturday. I classify saturday as break day, which I mostly listen songs.
Sunday, Dec 7, 2008
I am excited of going to school tomorrow. Because I can finally play guitar stuff and try guitar things.
Monday, Dec 8, 2008

Saturday, Dec 13, 2008
I went on Ricci Adams today. I can score like 29/30 in notes now. It's getting different but intersting.
Sunday, Dec 14, 2008
I went on Wikepeida to reserach something about music modes today. I felt like they are sort of complicated. They were not easy to me.
Monday, Dec 15, 2008
I took a test today. It was about music theory. It was bit of hard, I felt like I need to recongize more modes.
Tuesday, Dec 16, 2008
I can tell that music modes and notes are relevant to musicians. Thus, I try as hard as I can to study them even though its tough.
Wednesday, Dec 17, 2008
What I did most recently was packing back home, so, I am ready to play my guitar at home.
Thursady, Dec 18, 2008

Friday, Dec 19, 200
It's the last day of school. I am excited about going home, though. Because I may go to buy some music theory book or anything like that. Anyway, I assume I will do something for sure.
Saturday, Dec 20, 2008
I was on the airport and airplane mostly today. So what I did was mostly about music anyway. I was hoping I can get rid of such long flight, though. I am glad that my airplane has music channel to watch.
Sunday, Dec 21, 2008
I fianlly arrived Tawian in the ealry morning today. I was trying to get rid of jag lag, though. That made me feel uncomfortable and sick. Thus, I went out for a day.
Monday, Dec 22, 2008
Eventually, today was the first day I play guitar at home. It was tough to play my own guitar again, though. I haven't touched my guitar for almost three months. I felt nice to play him again.
Tuesday, Dec 23, 2008
I played guitar for an hour and half today. Due to the jag lag, I lack enough energy to play for too long.
Wednesday, Dec 24, 2008
Chrstimas Eve today, I didn't do any specific things about music. All I did was probably listenling music.
Thursday, Dec 25, 2008
Today is christmas. I am kind of hyper about it. Even my home has a small chrstimas tree. Thus, I didn't practice too much as well.
Friday, Dec 26, 2008
After many rests and breaks, I realized I have to do something about music. I went to Wikipeidia searching something about music modes.
Saturday, Dec 27, 2008
I totally missed my electricity guitar's wire. I couldn't find it so I coulnd't play the solo and things like that. But its good to play guitar again.
Sunday, Dec 28, 2008
It's good to learn music stuff, though. They make life fun and intersting. I can't live in the world without music. It drives me crazy without music. I have learned couple chords and songs, which promotes me to learn more than ever.
Monday, Dec 29, 2008
What drives me to practice is passion about music. I can only say that music has serveral elements involved.
Tuesday, Dec 30, 2008
I did more chords and modes review today. I was thinking those mistakes I made on the last test.
Wednesday, Dec 31, 2008

I am satsified that I can play guitar though. Because its like listening music that play by yourself is a great pleasure. Plus, I can learn tons of things from people who are good at guitar as well. Thus, I think the peer editing was not bad.
Saturday, Oct 25, 2008
Midterm Week is coming though. Thus, I didn't bother to borrow guitar from other dorm's people. Thus, I went on Ricci Adams websiter and tried to learn more things from it.
Sunday, Oct 26, 2008
Sunday is significant to me, I always trying to get a guitar and chill down all the stresses I have. However, my plan didn't work out today, I basically read all the notes and book that teachers gave to me.
Monday, Oct 27, 2008
Today was lecture day, I heard the assignment from teacher taught us. And I think its going to be interesting if I can fully understand the concept of chords. Thus I jut down notes and tried to understand them.
Tuesday, Oct 28, 2008
Preparing for midterm test today .. and i went through ricci adams and couple chords webiste though.
Wednesday, Oct 29, 2008
Basically today I did something speical .. I figured out that I can recongize most of the notes from Ricci Adam. I think I gradually learn how to play guitar without notes though.
Thursday, Oct 30, 2008
Midterm Day, I think I was doing ok when I was doing my test .. beause its like most of the questions I can just write it down without using an internet.
Friday, Oct 31, 2008
Halloween Day, as usual, listening music and did many sight readings things. I graudally noticed that it's important to notice the melody from the music I hear everybody.
Saturday, Nov 1, 2008
I started learning new chords today, because its time to change sight reading materials. So, I went on chords website and copied down couple chords and practice the feelings of chords.
Sunday, Nov 2, 2008
I think I should have went musicail concert, though. Because I need something new to fresh my guitar skills. I am not going to improve if I keep practicing alone and things like that.
Monday, Nov 3, 2008
I practiced this song called "pieces" .. but its just a beginning .. I havent really got the whole chords and melody yet.
Tuesday, Nov 4, 2008
Since I learned how to read guitar notes .. everything gets easier .. so I think I will learn much more songs recently .. I practiced "pieces" still today.
Wednesday, Nov 5, 2008
I learned couple solos today .. they were great .. they kept my figures flexible and skillful .. tomorrow is gonna be the day to practice whole songs.
Thursday, Nov 6, 2008
Gradaully getting it .. I've learned couple parts of my favorite songs and I focused on the melody today. I felt like the melody would be one of the most important things to practice.
Friday, Nov 7, 2008
I tried to learn how to switch the tones of guitar. It was good today, because I have never tried this before. And I felt like I didn't do it well. Maybe I have to redo again.
Saturday, Nov 8, 2008
Today I strengthened my fingers stability and enhance guitar chords. And I tried to switch the tones of guitar as well. It didn't work out pretty well like yesterday.
Sunday, Nov 9, 2008
I happened to broke the strings of the guitar. So I basically did sight reading and things like that. The next thing I would like to learn is how to determine which chords to play when you first hear unfamiliar songs.
Monday, Nov 10, 2008
Basic guitar warm up today. I warmed up my fingers then I played the songs I practiced recently. It was good today.
Tuesday, Nov 11, 2008
Day-Off Today, which means no school then. So I stayed at dorm and did couple research on guitar history. I wondered why would guitar be so famous and things like that.
Wednesday, Nov 12, 2008
Packing up for DC trip, though. However, I plan to do my musician process progress within these short vacations days. I think I am going to some research on guitarists. Because I am interested in how they become successful and things like that. Plus, I wonder how they practice.
Thursday, Nov 13, 2008
In DC, I paid 10 bucks for internet to get some information on the internet. It was worthwhile somehow, I enjoyed searching new music on music website, though. I did some search on guitarists anyway.
Friday, Nov 14, 2008
Second day in DC, I paid another 10 bucks for internet again. Thus, I got a chance to search great songs again. Besides, I was so eager of playing guitar. Thus, the only thing to express my feelings is to learn new chords on chords website.
Saturday, Nov 15, 2008
Third day in DC, another 10 bucks again. I felt I am crash. Anyway, I did it for some reasons. I did it for my music progress, though. So, I did some chords practice again. I felt I enhanced my ability of recongizing chords.
Sunday, Nov 16, 2008
Last day in DC, no more Internet. Because we were taking off in the early morning. Thus, I kept thinking guitar chords in my mind, just for practicing some new songs.
Monday, Nov 17, 2008
It was awesome today, I did my UNIT 7 today. Seems like everything is accomplished, I took a glance at new music as well.
Tuesday, Nov 18, 2008
Brilliant day, did some search on music drives. The music drive is as if library, you can find piles of things there.
Wednesday, Nov 19, 2008
Another practice day .. I tried my new chords into my solo. It sounds like perfect though. I felt like making songs yourself is kinda fantastic.
Thursday, Nov 20, 2008
I didn't practice a lot today. To be candid, what I did today was just sight reading on famous songs, like I don't want to miss a thing by Aerosmith. And it really help me in some ways, though.
Friday, Nov 21, 2008
To be candid, I didn't do lots of practices today, though. Even though I am so desepartely try to improve my skills. However, practice and repetorie stuff must be equal. I don't think it would be too good to do only one part mostly.
Saturday, Nov 22, 2008
Time to get ready for my guitar warm up, I did couple songs today. As usual, I solo a little bit and then I switch the guitar tone in order to get ready for new songs.
Sunday, Nov 23. 2008
Recongizing guitar tabs are not difficult. Even though I had difficutiles of reading that. Anyway, I felt like reading guitar tabs and doing songs practicing is interesting, though. I figure out lots of briliiant songs from them.
Monday, Nov 24, 2008
I had a new interesting stuff to try on today. It's guitar pro ! This software is just amazing, you learn songs from listenling songs it plays. Plus, music gollum has like tons of songs for me to try on. I guess I can learn lots of new songs from it then.
Tuesday, Nov 25, 2008
It is not easy to play songs smoothly when you have difficulties to touch the strings. It's like you always have to keep your hands smooth and relax so that you don't play too terrible. But don't get too overwhelming, you just need to flex your fingers. That's all .. !
Wednesday, Nov 26, 2008
Practice makes perfect. This idiom doesn't apply to guitar skills, though. As teacher claimed, " practice only makes you go further, it doesn't make you perfect". I totally agree with him now. And now I think I should enhance my skills by different ways.
Thursday, Nov 27 2008
Due to my new ideas, I have to cross this great wall in order to improve, I used the software teacher just gave to us, Guitar Pro. I basically think it's the great software to us.
Friday, Nov 28 2008
Another friday comes, I always think that friday is a special day, I always do different things in friday. Because I nearly do lots of works in the weekend. Thus, I play guitar pro again and start learning new songs from it.
Saturday, Nov 29 2008
It's such a good vacation, I barely did lots of works. And I felt like the vacation is just gone like three seconds. I decided not to play guitar pro again. I felt like I should do sight reading stuff again. So I reserached on the Internet for guitar stuff again.
Sunday, Nov 302008
Last day of vacation, I didn't do anything special. The only magnificent thing I did probably was chatting with my guitar friends, exchanging ideas about our future plan and things like that.
Monday, Dec 1, 2008
Finally, vacation is over. Now I can participate and learn some more things in music class again. I learned some tips from Mr. Freebern today. It was great but deep.
Tuesday, Dec 2, 2008
We basically talked about what we have been doing, practicing recently. I think there has been some effecs on me, though. Even though it's not a great change or anything.
Wednesday, Dec 3, 2008
I focused on my guitar chords again. I thought it would be easy if I keep practice them. However, I felt I have ability of making chords into a song, which is a cool thing.
Thursday, Dec 4, 2008
I used to read guitar chords to play guitar songs. But I recently found out a faster and easier way to play guitar songs easily. That is, guitar notes.
Friday, Dec 5, 2008
Guitar notes really helped me greatly. Now I can recongize every single notes of guitar, which enlarged my guitar skills even more.
Satureday, Dec 6, 2008
I rarely practice a lot on saturday. I classify saturday as break day, which I mostly listen songs.
Sunday, Dec 7, 2008
I am excited of going to school tomorrow. Because I can finally play guitar stuff and try guitar things.
Monday, Dec 8, 2008
I learned some tough stuff today. It was not easy though. It was about guitar modes stuff. I am trying to figure them out anyway.
Tuesday, Dec 9, 2008
As usual, playing guitar on class. Plus, I went on Ricci Adams training my ability of knowing every notes.
Wednesday, Dec 10, 2008
Focusing on melody & chords !! I did improved some skills.
Thursady, Dec 11. 2008
Music modes drove me crazy, though. I can hardly tell what is the difference between them. Trying to figure them out today.
Friday, Dec 12, 2008
I went on Ricci Adams today again. I can mostly tell what guitar and piano notes are. It's getting better, though.
Saturday, Dec 13, 2008
I went on Ricci Adams today. I can score like 29/30 in notes now. It's getting different but intersting.
Sunday, Dec 14, 2008
I went on Wikepeida to reserach something about music modes today. I felt like they are sort of complicated. They were not easy to me.
Monday, Dec 15, 2008
I took a test today. It was about music theory. It was bit of hard, I felt like I need to recongize more modes.
Tuesday, Dec 16, 2008
I can tell that music modes and notes are relevant to musicians. Thus, I try as hard as I can to study them even though its tough.
Wednesday, Dec 17, 2008
What I did most recently was packing back home, so, I am ready to play my guitar at home.
Thursady, Dec 18, 2008
I was trying to recongize the music stuff today. I was finding some ways to memorize all the modes, staffs. g
Friday, Dec 19, 200
It's the last day of school. I am excited about going home, though. Because I may go to buy some music theory book or anything like that. Anyway, I assume I will do something for sure.
Saturday, Dec 20, 2008
I was on the airport and airplane mostly today. So what I did was mostly about music anyway. I was hoping I can get rid of such long flight, though. I am glad that my airplane has music channel to watch.
Sunday, Dec 21, 2008
I fianlly arrived Tawian in the ealry morning today. I was trying to get rid of jag lag, though. That made me feel uncomfortable and sick. Thus, I went out for a day.
Monday, Dec 22, 2008
Eventually, today was the first day I play guitar at home. It was tough to play my own guitar again, though. I haven't touched my guitar for almost three months. I felt nice to play him again.
Tuesday, Dec 23, 2008
I played guitar for an hour and half today. Due to the jag lag, I lack enough energy to play for too long.
Wednesday, Dec 24, 2008
Chrstimas Eve today, I didn't do any specific things about music. All I did was probably listenling music.
Thursday, Dec 25, 2008
Today is christmas. I am kind of hyper about it. Even my home has a small chrstimas tree. Thus, I didn't practice too much as well.
Friday, Dec 26, 2008
After many rests and breaks, I realized I have to do something about music. I went to Wikipeidia searching something about music modes.
Saturday, Dec 27, 2008
I totally missed my electricity guitar's wire. I couldn't find it so I coulnd't play the solo and things like that. But its good to play guitar again.
Sunday, Dec 28, 2008
It's good to learn music stuff, though. They make life fun and intersting. I can't live in the world without music. It drives me crazy without music. I have learned couple chords and songs, which promotes me to learn more than ever.
Monday, Dec 29, 2008
What drives me to practice is passion about music. I can only say that music has serveral elements involved.
Tuesday, Dec 30, 2008
I did more chords and modes review today. I was thinking those mistakes I made on the last test.
Wednesday, Dec 31, 2008
Going back to Vermont today. I did not do anything really.

I was still at the airport in Japan. I couldn't do anything really.

Sunday, Jan 4, 2009
It finally comes to the last day of the vacations. I am excited about going to school again.
