How Unit 317 developed my contextual knowledge My contextual knowledge has improved so far that I now know more about the structure of pop music and what makes this kind of music so famous in the first place. In addition,  I now also know about how new inventions influenced the pop music. Progress on my instrument since the start of the course in relation to my targets for Unit 385 What I really wanted to do was to sing and play guitar at the same time, which can be very easy if you only play a couple of chords. But if you want to learn songs, where you have to pick the strings, it is a lot harder to stay firstly in the rhythm and secondly to hit the right notes.
