Angela Bernal: 30 Day Challenge
30 Day Proposal
During the 30 Day Challenge:
I thought playing the guitar was an easy thing to do since I have been playing ukulele for years. They both have skills that are the same like strumming, and chord transitioning. Playing the guitar was tough because I had small hands and my fingers couldn’t reach some of the frets . The texture of the guitar strings were different, the guitar consisted of 3 bass strings , and three threadlike nylon strings which made it difficult to be pressing on to for long.
It was a fun challenge for me because it made me remember when I was struggling learning how to play the ukulele and when that thought came in mind it pushed me to continue practicing, believing in my capabilities. Despite the minor callus I had on my fingers, learning how to play the guitar was enjoyable. I learned how to play a few of my favorite songs that made this challenge enjoyable.

Towards the last week of the 30 Day Challenge:

I jotted down what I did each day to help me keep track of my 30 day challenge.
Since my guitar is unplayable, I decided to show a video of me playing the ukulele. Considering they are both string instruments, I applied the same skills as I learned from the guitar like strumming, note or tablature reading, and chord transitioning.
Did I accomplish this challenge?
I I enjoyed this challenge because it became one of my daily routine as it also became my paradise, strumming the stress away. Though, I did not film myself with all the songs I learned, I can say I improved from the day I started learning. My chord progression in transitioning from one to another became quicker and I became familiar with the strings without having to keep looking at them everytime I was going to strum. In conclusion, despite my guitar being broken, I was thankful that I had known how to play it in a short period of time.
