I have standard to teach myself how to play the guitar, so I figured I would use my blog to chart my experiences in the case someone else can learn from my experiences.
Have spent the last 2 nights having a go. My aim is to eventually play "Play it again" by Luke Bryan. I have developed a love of country music from some where in the past 3 weeks. Bizarre
Anyway, I have dusted off my guitar which has been in storage for around 15 years. So not in tune.
I downloaded the Fender Tuning app which is remarkably good at tuning guitars. My guitar is now in tune. Would definitely recommend that as a tuning tool.
Also bought myself a guitar pick. $1. No dramas.
I have started learning my first 2 chords..the Open G chord and the Open C chord. I seem to get the G chord more than the C one, which seems a stretch on my fingers. I don't think I have my fingering positions quite right as my C chord seems to muffle a couple of the strings.
I think I am using the pads on my fingers rather than the points. Will try that tonight to see if I can get a better sound.
Have also tried the Fender Play videos on Youtube. Not sure about them to be honest as I prefer the Fret diagrams and the Fender Play stuff doesn't see to spend a lot of time on them.

NRL Season 2019 - Contenders for finals
Well, its the end of Round 8 so we should be getting a look at who are the top contenders.
After doing some stats analysis on the past 10 seasons, averages and 95% confidence levels, I have come up with the following characteristics of finals teams (Money Ball like)
1. Win record >= 60.76%
2. For points being >=21.86/game
3. Against points being <=18.20/game
Only 3 teams qualify at this stage (so these are the Locked in teams)
Roosters
Rabbits
Eels
So those teams are guaranteed to make the finals for mine
Then we have the Probable Teams (who have 2 of the characteristics)
Raiders
Storm
Manly
The rest are going to struggle for mine, even if they make the finals. So based on that, I think the Eels and Souths are really good value at $5 to win the comp.
