SUMMARY

Role:

Learn basic guitar

Intention (SMART Goal)

Learn basic guitar skills and possibly even a song

PRE-PRODUCTION – INQUIRY

Leader(s) in the Field / Exemplary Work(s)

Leaders I look up to are One Direction and Five Seconds of summer, mostly beacause I love their music and certain memebers in the band play guitar and other types of instruments. They are able to sing and play and I find that so amazing it seems honestly impossible.

Training Source(s)

This video helped me establish how to play some basic chords.

Project Timeline

Over this project, I have been learning finger placement and how to tune a guitar.

The (FILM, SOUND, or GAME Creation

Sound

Skills Commentary

Over this course of learning Electric guitar here are some of my opinions. It can be difficult mostly with muscle memory and playing the chords correctly. Sometimes I might accidently mute the other strings or not press as hard as I’m supposed to. Once you learn a bit of that its quite fun. I haven’t learned too much but from what I have done its cool to see the final result. My evidence is provided by the Soundtrap link above.

POST-PRODUCTION – REFLECTION

21st Century Skills

Ways of Thinking (Creativity, Innovation, Critical Thinking, Problem Solving)

During this project I tried several different sounds and styles. First like simple chords here and there from different songs. Its been fun and had a great time .

Ways of Working (Communication & Collaboration)

Throughout this project communicating with my fellow classmates was very important to help my guitar journey. They were super helpful and helped me.

Tools for Working (Info & Media Literacy)

Using Youtube and Google to look up tutorials was a lifesaver.

Ways of Living in the World (Life & Career)

I learned a lot of skills during this project which could potentially use in the future such as communication and actual guitar skills.

Reactions to the Final Version

The only critique I recieved during my creation was to keep on working hard on guitar.

Self-Evaluation of Final Version

I assessed myself by looking back on my work via videos, sountrap and music videos i’ve referred too. I think i’ve done pretty good and still a lot of area to improve on.

What I Learned and Problems I Solved

I learned that guitar is a lot harder then it seems. Its a lot of muscle memory and seeing where your fingers go and make sure not to hit the other strings when not supposed too. I feel like after knowing a couple riffs and playing them it has made me more creative and I do anticipate on learning more chords and songs on the guitar in general. I think maybe this changed me. Made me more creative wanting to learn more about music.
