Day # 34 of me practicing Glen Hansard & Marketa Irglova's song, Falling Slowly. This is me now practicing to the SOUNDTRACK version. I learned the song only through YouTube tutorial videos. I bought my first guitar September 2010; I definitely don't practice consistently enough, & still make mistakes, but I am getting better! :)
