Learning a New Instrument Outline
Essential Things to Know:
Luckily I already have some knowledge of these essential skills:
- Basic instrument set up
- Basic chords (G,C,D are some of the easier ones)
Essential skills I need to work on:
- Strumming specific strings at certain times (so it doesn't sound all chord-like)
- Fingering individual notes/lines
Some of the resources I will be using:
- This link will definitely be the most helpful! It is of Aaron Shust explaining exactly how to play his song:

find I am having trouble with specific sections.

Over the next two weeks I will determine a topic for the song. Here are a few general topics I am considering at the
moment:
- Brief Biography of an Important Figure in History
- Highlights of a Specific Body System (i.e. important organs, hormones, etc. involved in this system)
