MS the mindstorm.

Today is great. I've finished my documentary and it's being sent away today!!! Next was guitar lessons. Today at guitar lessons we got tested on changing from E to D and I'm doing pretty well. We also learnt how to change from A to D and it's super hard you have to learn where to put your fingers off by heart and getting your fingers in the right place is really hard. We also have to practise changing from E minor to major and that isn't so hard. After lunch it was time to do some more on our mindstorm and ours is looking so cool! Today we installed the ultra sonic, light and sound sensors and we are adding in the touch sensor.

Mindstorms

To complete editing was my goal for my documentary today. I had to change some of my pictures and edit the order of some of my slides,  and I'm really happy with how it looks. After about an hour of work all the editing for my documentary was done. During lunch it was time for my next guitar lesson. This time we started learning about some songs to play and how to shift our fingers around the guitar to get the different chords. After guitar was over,  it was time for the second session of robotics with the mind storms. and during this time we have just about got our rem bot done!

Guitar madness

Today has been so great! Today I started my guitar lessons with Mr Hawkins. First we learnt how to remember the cords on a guitar. The keys are E, A, D, J, B, E. this is how we learnt how to remember the cords, Evil Adam Drinks Jin Before Eating. Once we had learnt the keys we started learning the cords. We learnt how to play E major and minor A and D. While doing that we had to learn which fingers we had to put on which cord and in which fret. What is a fret? A fret is the space between the metal lines that go across the neck of your guitar. And now when I get home I'm going to drive my family crazy by playing my guitar!!!!
