Entry for a Rainy Day

[vovat]

I've been making some progress in my guitar-learning, even though I'm still not very good. I've been working through my Chord Strummer book, and learned syncopated strums and bass note/after strums. The former type is difficult, and I'm still not sure I'm doing it correctly. The latter actually sounds pretty cool, even when I do it, so I would imagine it sounds even better when played by someone who actually knows what he or she is doing. I still have a problem with not being able to switch between chords very quickly, but I'm getting better (I hope).

bethje and I should be going to Great Adventure tomorrow, if it doesn't rain. Weather.com says it should be sunny tomorrow in that area, but it also said it would only be cloudy today, and they've since changed their mind. I really do want to go there, since we still have season passes, and we haven't gotten much use out of them as of late.

I guess this was mostly just an entry made for the sake of writing an entry. How do you feel about that?

I've just been working through this one beginning book on playing guitar chords, and both sorts of strums are in there.

I've just been using random website tutorials, and asking lexxy for help when necessary.
