Follow up to my plan and purpose:
I just returned from traveling on a long ago planned trip to visit my best friend in San Diego. I had strong feelings about going, and repeatedly spoke to family about changing it. I was uneasy because my Grandpa was failing in health. My family said he would tell you to go and enjoy yourself, so go. I went.
I called daily, because of the unr…Read More

Hello James,
I share your feeling of being drawn here. I truly hope you will enjoy the good spirit here. Even though I have never met this group in person, it feels like a family. We are all trying to keep everything our own life needs us to do, and to fulfill a need to learn, make music, and have fun (even if it is hard work). Great to have you here!

Yes, that’s the idea. Obviously, some will sound better than others, but it can work with many of these different options. As you said, the most important factor is the length of the measures. Is the song in 4/4 time, 3/4 time, or 6/8 time? Once you have that determined, then you can fill in those measures with whole note strumming, half note, quarter, 8th, or 16th note strumming.

Cheryl, that is a great purpose, and should keep you motivated to continue learning.
I agree that music is a universal language, and transcends other forms of communication. It is a wonderful thing to be able to create your own music, and I hope you are able to achieve that one day as well.
Thanks for sharing your story with us!

My current purpose and plan is multifaceted like you Ann.
Purpose:
- I love music. It is a universal language. You can transmit emotion and energy through it, and connect with people soul to soul. I have always wanted to share like that. I still want to get to the skill level (like I described in my Introduction) to play favorite songs, and maybe even write my own.
