Hello from Sweden

[pineappletrain]

Hi
i have been a member for 6 months maybe but i never found this thread until now so i though i would introduce myselfe since i havent done it yet (sorry for all the incorrect spelling in the upcoming text).

Ok so my name is Oskar and i come from and live in Sweden, i have played the guitar seriusly for maybe a year now, before that i didnt own a guitar but i could do some of the basic chords. I started playing the guitar as im goind my final yearh in high school(i think thats what you call it over there in the US, and you are 18 when you start the last year here) and a cind of personal projekt whe have do decide on and i decided to start playing guitar, we decided a year ago though and i have been playing since then. Now in the spring i will be demonstrating my projekt on our school stage which have room for 700 people (dont think that many will watch though) so im training hard almost every day for maybe 1.5 hours and its a wonderful instrument to play and im really glad i founf this website. Luckuly before that i hade played violin for 8 years so i know basic teorie i think and im not completly new to a instrument and that i think have helped alot.

I have learnd 3 songs now from this website, well 1 really (baybe im gonna leave you) cause i cant play the whole song on the two others, and that isnt wery mutch, i do know some songs which i learned by myselfe from a friend, internet etc and they are all fingerpicking cause i really like those cind of songs. So the reason wy i havent learned any more songs then just 1 here is because the other 2 songs are Classical Gas and Windy and Warm, they are cind of hard and i have just started on windy and warm and classical gas i have bin learning for 6 months maybe and im learning the c section now so im thrue the hard part but its still wery hard song to play but i do it anyways.
My next song that i want to play would be hotel california i think cause its also a classic and a god song.

That would be it, and feel free to ask any question.

Hej Oskar! Valkommen til TG! Jag alskar Sverige- det ar sa vackert! You've picked some VERY challenging songs for your first couple of songs. I admire your courage! Hope you'll post a video of yourself playing one of them in the next few months. Sounds like you have a good musical background, so I'm sure you'll progress quickly. Good luck! Hejda- Suzi

Oskar, Great intro, thank you! Did you learn English that well in school? That is impressive! I lived in Germany for a few years and I always said the Germans spoke better English than most Americans! I'm sure most of my English, Aussie and Kiwi friends would agree with that anyway! LOL! Apparently, the Swedes fall into that group too! Good job!

Welcome again! :cheer:

Good job that it's Suzie the linguist saying that... if it was Bear Oskar would probably be breaking off Swedish/American relations by now.....
I know Bear is coming right up.....

Post Edit. Ah, too late!!
YOu'll get used to this Oskar....

Welcome from Ventura, CA. That is awesome that you could choose something like this for your project. It is something that will stay with you for the rest of your life if you are lucky. Hope you have fun with it and I would love to see the video of your project when it is finished!

Oskar, Nej, jag ar inte svensk, jag ar amerikansk, men min man talar po-svenska och vi resade dar for vor brollopsresa. Vi var i Stockholm i Goteborg. Jag tycker mycket om Sverige! Jag vil resa dar igen. That's about the extent of my swedish, sorry! I'm sure it's completely ungrammatical, so please forgive me. I've forgotten most of what I learned. That's what happens as you get older, I guess. Anyway, welcome to TG, and we all cannot wait to see you post a video of the songs you're preparing.
