20. My Project Topic
I have always loved listening to rock and recently I
started learning how to play guitar. My goal in doing
this project is to set out to learn how to play and
learn the origins of this genre and to learn
additional guitar information that I can’t self teach
myself.
21. How I will Achieve My Goal
Upon meeting with my mentor we both decided that
the best way to achieve my goal was to pick 5 popular
songs from this era that my mentor knew how to play
and have him teach me them.
27. Research Paper
Since the paper required 5 entries and I was
learning 5 songs I decided to do my research
paper on the history and influences of the
artists of my 5 songs
28. Research Paper
The results of my research came to the
conclusion that 60’s rock’s main influences
were Blues, Country, and Folk
29. Process
My mentor and I decided and planned to
meet with each other 5 times for an hour at
a time. In each meeting he would teach me a
new song and in between meetings I could
practice and do my research
33. Process
I learned a lot in the process of completing this
project. I learned what I set out to learn and my
mentor was great at teaching me. The skills and
knowledge that I acquired through completing this
project I will be able to use through out my lifetime
of guitar playing. I learned useful skills like
understanding tennessee numbers, chord
progressions and what it’s like playing in front of a
live audience.
35. Conclusion
I think this project was an overall success. I learned
a lot and my mentor was a great teacher. Looking
back I don’t believe I would have done anything
different.
