MY GOAL

My goal is to learn Kotaro Oshio’s ten fingerstyle guitar songs by thirteenth week. Kotaro Oshio is a wonderful and amazing Japanese fingerstyle guitar player .He can use one guitar to make different sounds and play the songs like it is played by a whole band. I start to learn guitar after I listened to his song named “Hard Rain”, which is a really exciting fingerstyle guitar song. This song changed my thought toward guitar. It also changed my life because I know I will need to spend a lot of time and effort to master all the guitar skill. Since that day, I know my life will become different because of guitar. I really love fingerstyle.
Why I set this goal? What are the reasons?
I started to learn guitar since two years ago and tried to learn Kotaro Oshio’s songs. My dream is to master all his guitar skill. However, I can only play some part of his whole songs and can’t play with confidence and fluently although I have played guitar for two years. I think this is because I don’t have a right aim.
Therefore, I want to master the ten songs below by thirteenth weeks. The songs are really difficult to learn, but I will try my best. I will practise these songs for two to three hour every day. I will have to work hard if I want to improve myself. A lazy person will gain nothing. I will also spend more time to practise on Saturday and Sunday. As I didn’t have class on Saturday and Sunday, I will have more time to practise .I will practise the songs from the easiest to the hardest. Thus, I have already finished the two easier songs, which are “Wind Song” and “Twilight” in the first two week. However, I have spent too much time to learn the songs. I should practise more because the harder songs behind does need very long time to practise.
I have also joined the guitar club in school to learn and play classical guitar. This is because classical guitar is more formal than acoustic guitar and I can learn many new things as well as new skills and techniques. A classical guitar player needs strong basic skills and music theory. My basic was not very good, so through joining guitar club, I can enrich my guitar knowledge, particularly basic skills and music theory.
I also need to learn how to control myself because I usually can’t practise for two hours continuously. I can’t control myself. I tend to do other non-beneficial things, such as playing computer game, sleeping, shopping and others. I should spend my time on beneficial things.
I really hope that I can learn these songs by thirteenth week. I am sure that I will become a great fingerstyle guitarist.
