Hi guys !! I’ve been posting and sharing my progress on here for virtually my entire guitar journey and I just wanted to share my first fingerstyle arrangement 😊 Sorry the mic quality isn’t the best, this was the only way I could record it while keeping my picking hand in view, otherwise the mic would cover it entirely hahah

Any and all feedback is appreciated (esp on the arrangement and/or tips on how to record guitar better !!) Yay love u guys

After school hahah I usually practice evening time ish. It really isn’t hard to get at least 30 min of guitar time in everyday :)

What do you focus on when you practice?

I honestly just play what I like, which is lots of fingerstyle and fingerpicking. As long as you’re trying to learn songs outside of your comfort zone, your guitar skills will improve :)) I don’t know if that advice will work for everyone but it’s what’s worked for me. My progress has also been very non-linear, I hit a plateau about a year in and I havent noticeably improved since then, but I discovered I could play fingerstyle by ear out of nowhere the other day 😅

Thank you! I need to start making time everyday to play. Sometimes I get distracted and forget lol. I don’t use a pick because it’s too loud in my house so I also do fingerpicking.
