I took some time today to convert Kelly’s arrangement of Fireflies to Guitar Pro. Its a free lesson on his blog which has plenty more tabs.

Song of the Day: Kotaro Oshio - Oasis
Out of all of Kotaro Oshio’s works, this one is dear to my heart because it simply reminds me of peace in every possible way. It was Kotaro Oshio who drew me to the art of acoustic fingerstyle guitar and is one of my inspiration in all my musical endeavors. I aspire, one day, to play like him, and possibly with him.
I love finding new finger style guitar artists especially if they play like this.
One of my first fingerstyle guitar songs I have learned. Really simple, fun to play and is a good beginners song to start off with. Again you will need Guitar Pro in order to view the file. I added the lyrics and chords used in the song inside the file.

I found a guitar arrangement for the main theme of “Pirates of the Caribbean” and converted it to a GP5. For those who do not own Guitar Pro.

Guitar fingerstyle exercise I use to warm up.
Not bad for 75$ shipped. Stayed at Terry’s house to do some recording and editing. I played some Greensleeves in this recording so you can see how it sounds. I know there is some buzzing in the frets but I am going to take it into a local guitar tech (http://www.wagnerguitar.com) to get it fully set up Wednesday.
When I woke up my inbox had a message from music123. It was my guitar.. It shipped at 1 a.m. So I was pretty much excited and got into the music mood this morning, went over some musical theory to get my mind back on track. I also started learning something I always neglected, the fretboard. I never really got into knowing the notes, where they were at. I mean I know a few scales but if I wanted to play in a key I always had to ask or look it up. So I am looking forward to having that in my music skill set.
I just got a really good deal on a Jasmine by Takamine S34C NEX Cutaway Acoustic Guitar at http://www.music123.com. I needed a new acoustic really bad, the guitars that I have been playing are old, worn down and loose their tune. Pretty much the hand me down learning guitars. So I am excited that I will have a guitar that doesn’t have a cracked saddle or bent up tuning knobs. That’s all I really wanted to post tonight, I’ll put up a picture once I get it, hopefully it is worth the money.
