A Guitarist's Beginning
I finally took the plunge into the guitar world in the summer of 2010. Although I didn't start to learn songs until a few months in, I routinely practiced the five main major chords over and over and over again. When my junior year of college started, I began to learn full songs from artists such as Sublime, ACDC, Cream, Bob Marley, Creedence Clearwater Revival, and the Red Hot Chili Peppers. This blog is to show my progress as I attempt to teach myself the ins and outs of the guitar.

For this next song, we encounter the Bm chord. Although this is a barre chord shown on the left, it can also be played not as a barre chord shown on the right:
