About the project

In my personal project i have stated the goal of playing at least half of the song Neon on the guitar, and then recording a video of it. This is personal to me because it was the song i always liked to listen, and had the will to learn because of my father this is his favorite song. This is really challenging to me because it is considered by everyone a really hard song to be played, and i really thought about it before if it was the right song and it makes it smart because is specific,measurable,attainable,realistic and timable.

The way personal project is designed, I think it fits better in the global context of identities and relationships. Because I really identify myself with the song and its relationships, because its my father's favourite song it has always been a goal to me to play the song. My prior knowledge i have about the song it's the lyrics, and that i took guitar for some years now and i think im considered like advanced in a way. so for now i researched the tab with all the chords of the song i need, i also searched some videos in which can teach and help me to play the song and i am currently searching for some classical guitars songs, in which have the a similar pick with the thumb and index so that can practice my muscle memory.

As i was investigating about neon which is the song i am trying to learn i found a website with many comments of people who know hoe to play the song giving their experience and tips and better tabs with more explanation than the original one person mentioned that as you start playing the song for about a week the movement becomes just like a reflex this source i would say its reliable because as i tied playing the tab shown it actually sounded better and the first tip helped me a lot so far
