[MARI GUERRERO]

Hi there! My name is Mari and I’m from California. I’m excited to have enrolled in this class and am looking forward to learning and practicing! I bought an acoustic guitar last summer and I’m finally taking advantage of this time to learn some chords and hopefully at least 1-2 songs. (If it isn’t clear by now, I’m a newbie!)

For almost a year, I’ve been gaining a desire to play guitar because I want to be able to worship on my own time and make it part of my devotions. The very few times I have tried to pick up the guitar and learn, I’ve struggled with positioning my fingers in the right place to strum any chord. This struggle has kind of discouraged me from learning… but I’m committed to trying again and pushing past the discomfort and failures.

Hi Mari!

I completely understand your struggle with discomfort while playing guitar. I think once you start playing more often you will be able to move past the discomfort. We are all in this together!

Slow progress is still progress.

Hi Mari,

I like the idea of prayer devotions with the guitar! I lived in San Diego, California for 40 years. In 2008 I returned to my hometown in Indiana believe it or not. It was definitely the right move even though I miss the ocean and the other California perks. Have fun with your practice!
