Jam Camp at Music Centre Canada (MCC)

Obviously I don’t have that much planed these days so I signed up for a week of guitar lessons at Music Centre Canada. It was a program that goes on for 4 weeks this month, 10 people will go there each week. There were 40 people that got chosen and I was one of them. My first day there was a bit tough, I met new people, learn the basics skills and the right way to play guitar (like the G major scale and the chord charts). Later on, the teacher gave us some songs so we can practice. It was hard to put your fingers in the proper positions while the other hand had to flick the right number of strings with the pick or your hand.

This is our guitar teacher...he is so skilled

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Well, I used to play piano. I think they are both hard to learn. Piano have many keys on it but when you get use to it, it’s not that hard. Guitar in the other hand was confusing at first, after a day or two, you kind of get on the track and it’s not a big deal. Well I mean practice makes perfect, if you don’t practice, everything seems so far away. Oh I remember the first time when I played a humongous piano when I was three and my hands were too small to reach the notes across.

we got sepreated into 3 or 4 different rooms..this is my room and that's my partner
lot's of drums...

At the end, we each received a free guitar. I think this is a really cool and fun experience. One of my favorite song is the “Hard Day’s Night” by The Beatles, You can hear the song in guitar version, click on the link below.

I consider writing as one of my hobbies which I think most of you don't. ( I mean some of you not all of course). Every once in a while I have new creative and realistic ideas and themes which I would like to present them through writing. On the other hand, I also enjoy drawing (any kind). I continously study and create different arts with passion. I hope you like my posts and like or comments if you have any questions or other inquires. Other than that, enjoy!?
