Sorry for the long time gap. 

Since this big covid-19 came around school has dropped and things went kind of crazy. As people panic and stay home, I have been going to work because I am considered a essential for what I do.

I wake up in the morning and I go straight to work on the farm while feeding the cows and taking care of the calves. I work all day and we got to the point where I am in the fields till around ten o'clock at night. So I haven't been practicing the guitar for the song I am learning.

Lets get Strumming... We all love listening to music with friends or just alone. Blasting songs with full volume in your car when no one is around you. Well my favorite parts are the guitars in the background, and the leading guitars in solos. I have always loved the sound they make and what people can do with them. So in class my teacher has presented a project to us and I thought this would be great. I already have a guitar at home and it gives me a good reason to start playing it.

Update... So I took a video of me trying to play part of the intro for Mountain Music by Alabama. It's not as loud on the video because I wasn't using a pick to strum. In my opinion I never did like using a pick when playing because I don't like how it feels and it makes some of the strumming strings louder and overpowers the other ones.  Now in the video I am nowhere near perfect with it, but it is a fast tempo song to play to.   Right off the start you will hear that beating sound and nothing playing, well that is because in the song the artist is singing and nothing is playing. I didn't beat as long as the actual song because it does it for a while, but you get the idea of it.... maybe:)
