Week 2: Chords and Calluses

This week I decided to tackle chords since someone told me that chords would give me the most bang-for-my-buck when it comes to song playing. The chord song I chose to practice was Johnny Cash's version of Hurt.

This week of practice was not fun to say the least. It probably wasn't a good idea to move from barely being able to play a scale to a chord song. Not only was my skill vastly not up to par, but I still had not developed calluses on my fingers. That made playing chords hurt like nobody's business. I'm really hoping I grow my calluses soon since I'm finding it hard to practice for long sessions at a time. I look forward to the day when my fingers look like this:

                                         Not gonna lie...I'm feeling mighty jealous right now.

As I mentioned earlier, my skills were vastly not up to par to tackle the material I chose to practice. It's probably better if I practice one more week before making any sort of analysis on my progress because at this point I'd be like a school kid assessing why he couldn't get differential calculus.
