I've found a good EM chop is 457X but then again, you may not be looking for a chop chord.
Wow, thanks. I will print that out. I know where all of the notes are on the fretboard but I have trouble with knowing what notes to put together to make chords because I've never studied theory...
No, wasn't aware of the database :whistling: but I'll probably take your advice in dropping the G7 to just a regular G because it's just one quick stroke then goes into the C chop so it would be...
What would a chop chord be for C7 and G7? I usually use 3 finger chop chords if that helps.
All went well with my instructor last night and I feel even more positive about the future. There's so much we want to do together I see many more lessons in my future.(which is fine) I keep telling...
Thanks all!
Have jammed a couple times with a guy friend who plays guitar/harmonica/sings and when I was visiting NY state I jammed with a friend who plays mando and fiddle up there. It wasn't the flaming...
Hi all!
I am taking lessons and while I have a good instructor, bluegrass really isn't his thing and that's the direction I would like to head. What would be a good song I suggest he and I learn...
Thanks to all for the feedback! Will definitely be talking with my instructor tonight and some of you asked, "do I have to memorize them?" and for me, the answer is yes so when I play for others I...
You made the exact point I've been thinking in the back of my mind! Thanks for your feedback.
I'm having so much fun with this and there have been several moments recently that make it all worth it - the fact that I'm not afraid to play around people anymore and I can handle playing with...
That's what I keep telling myself.... I am starting to notice that certain songs sound similar to each other so maybe that's the beginning. Just don't ask me to figure one out. Ha, ha.
Ah yes, playing by ear. That seems like a super human ability to me right now but I'm HOPING that will come in time!
Unfortunately he charges by the month, no partial payments SO if anything, I may cut back to every other month if he's not too keen on the idea of me only learning 1 song at a time and sticking with...
Well that makes me feel better... You're doing exactly what I like to/want to do. I started out as self taught but have been taking lessons for 3 months because it's been beneficial to me to have a...
Hello!
I'm taking lessons but am having some trouble memorizing things. Any tips or tricks?
I'm going to talk to my instructor about slowing down somewhat i.e., not expecting me to take on a...
I actually find that if I have a drink I play WORSE so that is off the table for me. LOL
One of the things I'm going to talk to my instructor about next Thursday is how and what to do in a jam setting and soon I'm going to GO to one of the sessions that's local to ease my anxieties too. ...
I reminded myself last night when I was playing at home that public speaking used to scare me to death and it doesn't now so eventually this will all be behind me.
Nice video! :popcorn: It's something I'll have to try and granted I've only been playing for a year or so but I think you did a fine job. As I said above, playing through the flubs is something I...
Thanks all. I think starting lessons next week and sitting down WITH someone I don't know will help me get ready for playing for/with folks I do know. I intend to talk to him about my anxieties...
Thanks. I’ve found a jam group that meets twice a week in my town so I plan on going there soon. I am self taught but I’m starting professional lessons next week and after a lesson or two I’m going...
I hate to admit it, but the thought of playing for other people scares the pie out of me. Any advice? Granted I know there's the obvious thing - just do it - but seriously, does anyone have any...
Great! Thanks! I'll check it out. I've never, ever played with people before and I think this will help me develop as I'm sorta stuck right now on where to go next.
