Getting The Hang of Things

The last time I updated I talked about the little problem that we ran into that kept us from practicing in the band room and nearly flipped our whole project upside down. As far as I've seen, that problem has dissolved a little and we're back to practicing in Mr. Wine's room. Last week I took a break from the set and practiced guitar for a little bit:
 So this week, I practiced more by ear by listening to the song Jaime had learned on the bass, With Or Without You by U2, and playing along. I also taught Catherine the chords to the song so she could play along.


Lastly, I taught Kellar the riff for Come As You Are by Nirvana and played along with him on the drums. We didn't get any pictures of that but it happened. After the long overdue realization that I don't really have any way to access a drum set or a bass outside of school, I'm thinking of changing my goal to something along the lines of teaching guitar and learning to play along with other people if Mrs. Browning will let me.
