My latest obsession!

Scrabble. 
This crazy game has been stealing all my time, energy and attention since a few days. i am getting obsessed, i think. Just last night i slept at one. 
The game, however, is not new. i have played it in my childhood with friends and cousins but it is only then i learned the correct rules when i downloaded it a few days ago. Breaking news? We actually never played Scrabble by the rules, not even by one!
Now playing it on my phone feels pretty good. Time flows by without getting noticed. i like it. Though i admit i have NEVER ever been fascinated by any phone game my entire life. It is i guess the exact match of my interest. 
Now i get it when people say they can't stop playing this game and that game on phone. i used to be like - It's just a game, not a burger!
It is indeed not a burger. It is, in reality, the combo of burger and fries and McWrap and pizza and 6" Subway and Pepsi and other junk food. i just cannot stop playing!
Result? The constant hum of headache. Since this morning. i regret but i don't regret. For the first time, an obsession feels good.
You may have expected that my latest obsession will be about something relevant to writing or music or both, is it? Gladly, it is not. It proves that i am sane, and that my life do revolve around other things as well. Yeah, it is a news to me too.
Enough about me. What's your latest obsession?

A minor - 5 different ways to play

So, i am down to the second last video in the series chords made easy for minor chords. This one is on playing A minor (A min or Am) in 5 different styles.
i am trying to attach the video from YouTube but blogger has been showing issues since yesterday. Anyway, i can always tag. And attach the cover thumbnail.
You can watch the video of Am in 5 ways HERE .

i always and always include beginner friendly versions because i was once a beginner too. i know the passion of wanting to play the chords but getting served with difficulties on way. The shape, the placement of fingers on the fret board, the stretch of fingers and the palm and the wrist...it all looks no less than a nightmare.The first version is 2-fingers beginner friendly. Second is the traditional 3-fingers version. Third and fourth are barre ones (5th and 12th fret respectively) and the final is again a 2-fingers version but on 5th fret. i found this one in particular during my research. It looked interesting and hence, i decided to include it.
There are MANY MORE shapes of a particular chord to play. i simply choose a few depending upon a few criteria about which you can listen in the video (at the end).
i hope you enjoy watching it though i wish YouTube hasn't been playing bad here lately.
Let me know which shape you liked the most?
