That's apparently what I need to work on according to Guitar Guy.

It seems I have gotten into the habit of playing quietly in the room while everyone else is around and that's carrying over into my technique (if I have any of that at this point!).

Me? Not forceful? stop laughing!

So this week more scales and exercises. I don't mind these at all. I have been involved either taking or teaching lessons for a long time. I know the value of the basics. And my new song for this week is Wonderwall which I will learn to play forcefully. Really.

I am really enjoying the lessons though. I am making progress. I can hear it and feel it. It's slow, but it's there. He is amazing and I get as much out of watching and listening to him play as anything else. It really makes me want to work at it.

(And you know it's going to sound great at parties at the new house!)
