Blog Entry #2: Continuing Practicing Guitar

 This past weekend, I have been practicing my guitar a bit more often in order to get better. It's been a while since I've practiced, probably around 2 - 3 months since I haven't practiced playing or learning a new song.  The song Ive been trying to learn is Psicodelica by Junior H, and also have in mind to start practicing Tocame by La Santa Grifa.

Rolling stone provided information on the process for an artists work like they did for Don Toliver's new album "Octane".   Though the one thing I didn't like is that to access the information is that you need to pay which is always a downside for the consumer who wants to stay updated on music related news.  Another great form of blogs are the ones that keep you updated on your favorite sports team or player news. A great example of a sports blog is  Sporting News - NFL | NBA | MLB | NCAA | Boxing | Soccer | NASCAR .  This sports blog is neatly o...
