Hello there my wonderful writers! Today, I have provided for you a small music video of me playing guitar! As this week’s Student Blogging Challenge is related to music, and I truly do love guitar, I decided to write a song on the guitar. For a little background, I took guitar for two years in school, and still play on the side at home. My genre of music isn’t defined by any existing genre, but a genre that I have dubbed FSSEASNS(it’s okay if you can’t pronounce it I can’t either). While you may be scratching your head as to what FSSEASNS is and pondering if I have gone mentally insane, I can assure you that, one, I’m okay( at least according to the doctors) and, two, that FSSEASNS stands for the Fifties, Sixty, Seventy, Eighty’s, And Some Nineties Songs. When I was around the age of eleven, I found that I didn’t have a “favorite genre,” so I looked back on all the music that I loved and found that they all come from one of these five decades! And so FSSEASNS was born and it was glorious. I’ve used music from my made-up genre ever since. I think the wacky song I made up for this video takes inspiration from the FSSEASNS.
When making this song, I just started experimenting and tried to decide what sounded right to me. In the end, my final product sounded a little out of control, so I toned it down for you all. When writing the notes for this song, I found that my love of guitar is as strong as ever! This surprised me, as I don’t take guitar class anymore! Maybe all I needed was some experimentation to let my creative/inventive juices flowing. I also found that writing music is very similar to writing a story. When your writing, you write whatever comes to mind, but you don’t truly know if your story sounds proper until you read it out loud. In music, you write your lyrics and notes, but you don’t know if it sounds good until you play it. At the end of the day, aren’t they both forms of expressing ourselves creatively as well? Isn’t crazy how similar these two art forms are? I know it is for me!
Anyways, guys, I hope you enjoyed my song and my post. Let me know about your musical journey or some connection you have to music in the comments section. Remember to leave a link to your blog in your comment, so that I can visit your guy’s blogs. I love reading other people’s experiences, it lets me think of new ideas for stories :).
Have a great day and remember to wear your pencils!
