new string B

after working on the E string for a few minutes today, I moved on to the B. I didn't play along with the CD I have so I could get used to the notes before worrying about timing. I practiced the 2 songs using the B,C, and D notes and did okay. again I didn't use the CD because my computer was slow and I couldn't get it to cooperate, but I did work on 3 songs that used both strings. It was tricky for the first song because it was just a "2 string rock" and I didn't know the tune, but the other songs were Ode to Joy and Jingle Bells. It was fun to try these familiar songs and see how I could read the music and play, albeit very slowly. I never thought I would enjoy this as much as I am.
