  1. I will help but I have only written a couple of things and they were for my own enjoyment. So I hope this is also a team effort. As far as my vocal ability, that is certainly up for discussion! I guess I'm trying to say I'm shy and more than a little doubtful!
  2. Sadly I'm a little short on talent to be much help. Maybe with vocals or lyrics. It's a great idea though. We could all go up to accept our Grammy next year.?
  3. Here's one The guitar is the easiest instrument to play and the hardest to play well. Andres Segovia
  4. Diane that's exactly why I started this. Great quote!
  5. I'm a person who loves to read quotes for inspiration in all areas of life. So I thought I would start this thread for quotes about guitar or music. So if you have a favorite or run across a good one please post. Heck there are probably at least a hundred from Steve that inspire me. This first one I'm sure everyone has read but I like it. "Sometimes you want to give up the guitar. You'll hate the guitar. But if you stick with it you're gonna be rewarded." Jimi Hendrix
  6. I haven't tried the songs yet, just the exercises bit I'll get there. I was really struggling with the bonus workbook exercises trying to use a metronome so the CD tracks have been really good.
  7. This book has been helpful. There are some fun rhythms and a CD to play along with. Still slaving away with this skill! The CD is somewhat helping with changing chords in time but I'm still way off.
  8. I have one on my phone that was a freebie called B'Metronome. I should be using it more.
  9. Dave that is a beautiful guitar. Do you know what it sold for?
  10. Neil those examples are really some beautiful and high quality instruments. Great research. Please let me know what you decide. In reality I will be looking at the lower end and want to get the biggest bang for my buck and I'm leaning toward Yamaha. Either way there's going to be some fun pictures to look at once we take the plunge. Oh yeah, I didn't mention this will be my reward for getting to session 10. Incentive!
  11. Very interesting stuff! Thanks for sharing!
  12. I LOVE that guitar. The 399.00 is a tough sell on the spouse. It has all I want.
  13. Thanks for the info. Luckily I have some time before I decide.
  14. Great advice. Like when I bought my Yamaha steel string I just loved it. We have a Yamaha dealer here but I am unsure of his nylon string inventory. In a small town like this it's often hard to sample guitars.
  15. Thanks Dave. Do you feel these older guitars are of higher quality? I guess my concern would be condition of th neck when I can't have anyone check it out.
  16. Thanks for the info. I have been very happy with my Yamaha FG800 so I'm leaning that way. What I haven't decided is cutaway or standard and accoustic electric or standard.
  17. I found this page useful in researching beginner nylon string guitars. I am a few months away from purchasing and would love to hear anyone's thoughts or experiences with their first nylon string instrument.

  18. Thank you for the great suggestion. I'm going to work with what I bought for the time being but now I have some great alternatives. Thanks again!
  19. That would be great. Worked ch.1 today finding the note A all over the fretboard. Tomorrow is B and so on...
  20. Welcome!  You're just North of me here in Montana!

      Hello rkl312! Stay warm down there!! We are having a decent winter so far..but the cold air mass went south I think. Hello Montana!!! :)

       

  21. In an effort to break out of my music theory procrastination I have acquired the book Music Theory by Tom Kolb. I'm going to work with it at least 10 minutes of my practice time per day. Any reviews out there of this book?
