Our band leader gave us each a review with some constructive criticism last summer, and he wanted me to work on learning scales and leads, so I've spend the past 8 months learning those. Not a specific 'this is a G scale' - but more playing them up…

Before responding to your post, I re-read a post on the same topic which I made to the flatpick-l list serv some time ago. Here are some of those thoughts re-worked:
A student/teacher relationship is both active and passive. You must take th…
Everything you mentioned is fairly important to one extreme or another. I found out as a narrow minded over opinionated adult( how did this happen?) that the most important part of finding any instructor to work with would be personality! If you don…

Nancy said… - Those are great goals. My goal for this year is also to learn some flatpicking standards... I have also spent the last few months memorizing songs... I am working toward 60 songs and am about 2/3 there. We have an outside promenade in Santa Monica Calif. where musicians and artists are permitted to perform. To do that, I need to have a fairly good repertoire under my belt. I've tried to find another guitarist locally to jam and perform with, but, can you believe it? they're so scarce in these parts! I stealing from your goal list and adding a "jam" session to my monthly goals. Hope you don't mind!

I can relate to your post. As for how much you practice and how you feel about your playingl. I wish my goals were as high as yours. I'd be very happy if I could memorize 6 new tunes. I can hardly remember yesterday and rely on printed music too much. I too hope to attend at least 1 jam a month this next year.

Steve, my office is across the street from Dusty Strings in Seattle and it turns out they have a D18GE in stock. I had not even noticed it but picked it up. The neck takes some getting used to (or probably for me the bigger adjustment is tied to a 1…
Extremely Tasteful!! Nicely played. Thanks for posting it..
Sorry to get a little off topic :-( I realized it once I clicked the Add Reply button..
I like what you said about being able to afford a 20 Dollar Hygrometer... if you can spend 4 grand on a box.. and you can't spend the little bit of money on the…
Great stuff !... Very atmospheric the way you play this tune...love it !!
Dedicated to those of us who are just getting started.
So what you are talking about here Jon, is not what I started the thread for( but it IS a nice aside!) You NEED to know what your humidity is at in your house were your axe lives. That is what the Hygrometer is for. There are all kinds of threads ev…
I've never had a gauge that I've used for any of my guitars, but what I have done which only costs a few dollars is to get a travel soap box and a sponge to use as a small humidifier that I keep in my case.
It's works really well and fits perfectly…
Really nice. Great to see someone slowing down and being tasty.
I have to admit I do like D'addarios, once I get my callouses back I may move up to ej17's
