Microwave Posted April 30, 2014 Share Posted April 30, 2014 I've seen pedal steel guitar played like this but I've never seen a 6 string acoustic guitar played in such an unorthodox fashion. Love it, thanks for uploading the video! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Card Posted May 1, 2014 Share Posted May 1, 2014 (edited) Wonderful. Black music is the best! So natural and inventive, especially when you compare the playing with the previous example (not that the previous example is at all bad - just a different style).

Card Posted May 1, 2014 Share Posted May 1, 2014 I live in BKK but sometimes visit CM. I have been an almost obsessive Blues fan all my life (I'm in my '60s now) - mainly electric guitar - I always visit Boy Blues Bar when I am in CM. But am completely useless with any instrument so have only ever bought 3 harps and an acoustic guitar which I cannot play. I have often considered buying an electric guitar but never did because I'm afraid it would end up like the other instruments. I would love to learn a blues riff on an electric guitar but have never even tried an electric guitar. If I had the confidence to play something, anything, I could progress from there. Do you have an electric guitar and could you teach me a very simple blues riff? If so, I would love to come along for a lesson or two when I am next up in CM.

arend Posted May 1, 2014 Share Posted May 1, 2014 (edited) Sign me up. Exactly what I've been looking for, "inexpensive group lessons...I've played a couple of years, mostly blues but feel stuck in my progress. Edited May 1, 2014 by arend Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AJ Alex Posted May 1, 2014 Author Share Posted May 1, 2014 Yes I have a work permit from a school I work at however I know it's only valid for that place of work. I will hire out a room from the school next time i do it. Most people just want someone to jam with and you don't need a work permit to jam so i'm sure I will be ok. Thanks for the heads up read and noted :-) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brianP Posted May 1, 2014 Share Posted May 1, 2014 Good show there. A true teacher never quits teaching. I have helped many a folk get started for a life of music. For guitar, the most important thing is a low action and light gauge strings. That first month is what discourages most from overcoming the learning curve and sore uncooperative fingers. Wait until they have formed some hand strength before introducing Barr chords and keep the music fun and lively. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gcbruk Posted May 2, 2014 Share Posted May 2, 2014 Hello Alex I'd like to have some lessons, something I always wanted to do but never had time before. Now I have time on my hands and it would be ideal. I'm in my sixties and an absolute beginner. Please contact me if interested thanks ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wait until they have formed some hand strength before introducing Barr chords and keep the music fun and lively.I think it's down to personal preference really. I can't stand 009-042 gauge sets, it's like playing with rubber bands. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
connda Posted May 3, 2014 Share Posted May 3, 2014 (edited) I have stubby fat fingers. If you don't mind teaching someone who totally sucks at every musical instrument I've tried, well I'd give it one more shot. Totally retired now and somewhat bored. PM me. Thanks.
