Greetings!!! Here is a cool thing that happened to me a few days ago. I was showing my 6 year old niece and my 4 year old nephew lesson 2. They were both completely enthralled. I then showed them how the different strings sound when changing the fret. They were completely mesmerized by this. I will probably look at getting her a small guitar…Read more

Hey Dan that is indeed too cool!!!

It is also an example of how to reinforce your learning. By teaching what you learn, your learning becomes deeply saturated into your memory. Keep sharing, in more ways than one. 🙂

  Nice start Macy! Here are a few suggestion: 1. Use a guitar strap so that you don’t have to hold and play the guitar at the same time. A strap will allow your hands more range of motion. 2. Look at the video and pay close attention to your wrist. At times your wrist is flat and at times it is in the correct curled position. When you push your…Read more

I bought my first-ever musical instrument in 2003 when I was 21, an acoustic guitar. A Gibson Epiphone. I was on a path to try new things and learning to play music was one of them! At this age, I developed a love for alternative music, namely, indie rock and roll. I wanted to try and play some of my favorite songs from some of my favorite…Read more

Wonderful comments! There are a lot of people that have their guitar learning interrupted. It is the love of the instrument and our creativity that continues to draw us back. We will focus on the basics and continue to grow together as a learning community. Stay passionate!

Don’t over do it. Take time to relax whenever you feel discomfort. You will get through the early discomfort if you manage it the right way. Give it time.

Working on lesson one. I had bought a guitar years ago but never opened it. Lesson 1 had an assignment telling me to take my guitar to a music store to have it checked out. I have a buddy who played on my tennis team for years who is part owner of a music store. Took my guitar to him to look it over. He told me that as it was, the guitar…Read more
