Harry singing the song.

29/5/2016.



Above is one of the lessons I had with Harry. Basically, since we both we quite sure with the song and the lyrics was just finished, we decided to make the final song but with Harry singing it.

I had to hold the lyrics in front of him so that he could play the guitar comfortably. Harry was playing the guitar and playing it.

You will notice but, on the screen (I mentioned in the video) that I had misspelled some of the words in the lyrics. Eg: Instead of, "Social Media is getting to me" I wrote, "Social media is getting to meet." I was a little embarrassing even though no one except Harry witnessed that.

I looked quite easy and felt it was not going to be that hard.

WHERE'S HARRY! THE FINAL ONE!

29/5/2016.

(SORRY THERE IS NO VIDEO. I WAS NOT ABLE TO PORT IT INTO MY COMPUTER. SORRY (AGAIN)).

I was by myself, in my room, and my parents and brother were watching Cricket. I knew this was the most intense part of my life. If I failed, I would never succeed in it! Well, I was partially correct and partially wrong. What was wrong, was that I wasn't really going to die, I was just saying all that stuff for fun.

This is the last one of my guitar performances. When I was by myself, I mean it... I WAS BY MYSELF! THAT MEANS THAT HARRY WASN'T THERE! I WAS PLAYING IT BY MYSELF.

I closed my room door and started the video and I was playing the notes really slowly. Did you know: I had actually done a lot of other videos for the final one. Yet they weren't really good; I kept forgetting to sing the lyrics. Soon I was able to remember and get myself to sing the song along with the guitar.

By the way, did I mention that it is really difficult. It's hard to play the guitar and sing at the same time. The reason I thought it was easy and normal is because, I thought that other people had done that as well. But, as I write this blog reflection, I finally realize that barely anybody does that. But I thought is it was possible anyway.

I had to play the song part first then the lyrics part next because, I had nobody to hold the lyrics in front of my face. Plus I didn't know the lyrics very clearly. I just followed this rhythm for most of the song.

I tried my very best and in the end of my video, I did mention that I had done well. Finally, I had to accept the fact that I had a little bit badly.

I'M SINGING! NOT-EXPECTED BY AZAAN 7BB.

Sorry, there is no Video. I was trying to upload it, but it was not working. Again, sorry there is no video. 


I was with Harry, practicing for the song. This time, I was singing the song, while Harry was playing the Guitar.

I was singing at my best. As Harry began the song, I didn't know that I had to start singing. I guess that you can say that I was not very well prepared. Harry soon had to give me the call to sing.

Later in the song, I was singing in a proper rhythm and soon getting "The Bounce". Later, Harry even said one word and sang along with me.

In the end, later I finished the song in my most mysterious and sad voice; to leave an awareness for anyone who saw the song.



Classes with Harry ON THE SONG.

28/5/2016.

Today, I was learning about the song that I was going to play.

At first, Harry had an entire song in his mind that he made up and was writing down his ideas on the board. Later, when I asked Harry if he was okay that I did a parody, he said it was a good idea. Soon, I spent most of my day learning how to play, "Seven Nation Army" and so, I was actually doing quite well.

But Harry and I were both noticing that, I was having problems with my fretting an that my hand was not at the right size to be fretting a lot. So, at around 9:00 pm, Harry was playing the song, while I was recording his guitar playing. (Remember that this was not with Lyrics.) Because of this, I slept at 11:00 pm.




This is the Seven Nation army original song. By, "The White Stripes.".

My guitar C major chord continued

27/5/2016



This is the continuation of my C major chord.

My performance was in continuation, then I had realized that I wasn't fretting right. So, I fixed my mistakes and played to the best as I can. 

My Guitar C Major chord

27/5/2016



Play the above video to see me play the C Major Chord.

Special thanks to:

Destiny Guitar.

Link to video I used to learn:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ckChLrQC8Pk

This is the VIDEO ITSELF that I learned from:



I was learning without Harry for the first time! You see, I was taught how to play the C Major Chord by Harry, but I wasn't exactly sure with it the next day. The good thing was that I knew the name of the Chord. 

So I typed it onto YouTube and learn't it from a person in a group, I think, called "Destiny Guitar". Special thanks go to them for teaching me so well, on how I could play the C Major Chord. I really was glad and was quite relieved at the same time. 

Finally, I was able to play the C Major Chord.  I was in my parents room and with the IPad recording my performance.

Knowledge of notes on the guitar.

27/5/2016



Yesterday, I was learning my basic notes write my melody. So, the day after that, I decided that I was going to make a video on my learning of the Guitar. So, I used the IPad to record me playing the Guitar.

I sat on my bed with the guitar, in front of me was the Chalk board containing the name of the strings. Then all I had to do was to play the guitar and show that I knew my notes. So, by doing that, I thought some random notes to think of, and then I said them.
