As you’re strolling down the busy sidewalk, a melodic tune gently flows into your ears. Envisioning music notes floating through the autumn air, you aimlessly follow the brilliant yet calm sound of an arpeggio. To know exactly where these tunes are coming from, you slowly open your heavy eyes. A slender man with long fingers and a quirky side smile, the musician, is gingerly caressing a cherry-wood acoustic guitar, playing her ever so elegantly. Enamored by the melody, you stand there, watching his hands strum and pull the guitar’s steel strings. Cautiously, you take one step closer to him in order to get a better view of his hand positionings. Although the quick and swift movements of the musician’s hands appear difficult, they’re…show more content…
To properly tune your guitar, it’s helpful to have a guitar tuner, which you can obtain at your local instrument store. However, since most people nowadays have smartphones, you can use an app- such as GuitarTuna. The first time I tuned my guitar was by ear, which was a bad idea for someone who didn’t even know what the strings were supposed to sound like. I ended up tightening the string too much, and then- POP!- there went my strings! Now, most of the time, you’ll have to tune your guitar for standard tuning, which is EADGBe. Some songs will require a different tuned key; however, most use standard. To tune, you pluck the string. If it’s too flat, tighten the string by turning the peg towards you. If it’s too sharp, you loosen the string by turning the peg away from you. Unfortunately, sometimes your strings may break if you tighten them too much, so please be careful. Following your tuning session, you need to learn the strings themselves along with frets. The strings count from top to bottom: 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1. Frets start at the head of the guitar and move down from 1, 2, 3, etc. This information will assist you in finding your fingering positions
<span>In this case I believe the mother's pride is a characteristic that too many people have lost to "fit in" one way or another. When the Canadian border guard says, "you have to be American or Canadian" expresses how you can only be A or B, while the diversity that exists both in Canada and the U.S. is ignored. The trials she faced for standing up for what was right for her, emphasizing her heritage as Blackfoot, are minimal to what has been faced in the past. In the sense that her pride delayed the trip to Salt Lake City, yes it hindered her, but in reality it was her own personal victory. She is able to pass through the border by giving the same reply to the question of citizenship, which demonstrates how something that seemed to be so crucial (being Canadian or American), can be waved when you realize unimportant it truly is. However, winning one small battle is not like winning the war against cultural discrimination and injustice, yet this taught her son to be proud of whom he is. In the end, I believe her pride was necessary to show how sticking to your morals can bring about a drastic change, no matter how small.</span>
Yes, because (12) is referring to a page number.
I mean, if you're writing an essay, this would be correct. But if you're just stating your opinion, that's wouldn't need to be cited.
