very cool! Like how @DianeB you capture the senses of the environment. Enjoy.

Thanks @Eracer_Team-DougH. it's good to be an uncommon guitarist. It would be interesting to perform. I've been thinking about it for a number of years. I usually post online just some videos performing at home.

I was wondering. I picked up a Hal Leonard Halloween book and wanted to play songs. Most of my friends have left NYC or are not interested in guitar. I looked at meetup. Kinda overwhelming on info. I just want to play some halloween songs and get to know people. I will be asking around for open mike nights in my neighborhood or a google search. I also thought about set lists. I never composed a halloween song. It may be my first. This is the first time I will be celebrating a Halloween guitar performance.

the bottom number = fret position 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 8th fret 6th string is the C note at that Octave. the C major scale can be played at multiple points. In your example, you just follow along playing C D E F G A B C then it keeps going down to all six strings start at the top Bass 6th string (Lo E string) play those three notes C D E then 5th string F G A BC and EF are the naturally occurring half whole notes in the C major scale intervals as I understand. Laws of a Major scale All notes C D E F G A B C C Starts the scale and ends the Scale Scales are good practice. however they are the cornerstone of a good solo. maybe others with more wisdom can chime in.

Good points all. It’s not as easy as it sounds. Here I go.

cool! I haven't really found a niche. just playing around with guitar ideas. I'm Working hard or hardly working.

that's fascinating.

I have to move out of my comfort level to explore playing in jam sessions. I have to find something that suits me. Thanks for the personal insight.

The 11 C notes on all strings 20 fretted guitars. This can be helpful in finding the C scale across the fretboard. It's a tip and trick that I just learned. I can then play the scale up and down by listening to notes and practicing the scale. I hope this is helpful. Bottom strings of the guitar String # 1 High E: C notes = frets 8 and 20 String # 2 B: C notes = frets 1 and 13 String# 3 G: C notes = 5 and 17 String #4 D : C note = frets 10 String #5 A: C notes = frets 3 and 15 String #6: Lo E: frets 8 and 20 Top strings of the guitar

Thank you @DianeB for taking the time to find these resources. I feel the universe will send the right players my way. I'm just going to enjoy the journey. I just saw this reply. I looked through your meetup.com's link. I decided to subscribe to Youtube premium and listen and learn from Segovia and other styled guitarists. By studying tape I will learn how I naturally learn audio/visual/kinesthetic at the same time. A side note . I just learned all the fret board in general and the c notes 11 of them in my 20 fret guitar in particular. Do you think anyone will find it helpful?

Thanks @jasn Cape Cod is nice been there a while back. Martha's Vineyard was cool

Hi, How are you? I wanted to get real world experience playing at open guitar night. Like bluegrass, big band guitar. Do you know where is a good place to start to participate in Jam sessions in NYC? Started to get back into the swing of things agains...lol

maybe

Zen guitar - the art of sound its pretty cool. Japanese philosophy to guitar and music making.

it took 15 years to get to this. I started in 2010 with my first guitar. I always could sing but I wanted to be a complete artist. Guitar just speaks to me. I wonder have you ever published. A little scared.

Here's a way to remember the major scale music theory of WWH WWWH WORLD WILDLIFE HABITAT = W W H then World Wide Web Hosting = W W W H what you get is World Wildlife Habitat's World Wide Web Hosting Major Scale Formula W W H W W W H acronym Would you think this is an easier way to internalize scales?

I have Christopher Parkening Guitar method book. You can look this classical guitar resource up. It teaches classical guitar. Here is the link: Christopher Parkening website and Hal Leonard books. I hope everyone is ok with me sharing this link.

That's pretty cool! We always look back for our first instrument and the memories associated with it. The sentimental value. Intrinsic value. I still have mine. And I'm a left handed player.

Thank you for the advice. Just trying to build a routine of mastering the basics. I want to focus on the basics and boring work now. So later I can play whatever I want. How I want. I want to thank you for the recommendation. I have to book on apple. I would like to get a paper copy later. After I finish some other guitar playing. I have a budget wire music stand. So, a book wouldn't stay on. I really am just feeling out different styles. I just thought that the improv of Jazz. And Jazz guitarists like Joe Pass, Tommy E. C.G.P., are interesting. Long story, short. Thank you!

Just started today. I am getting an overview how to approach Jazz playing. What is you experience with these videos?

thanks for sharing!

thanks for the like! @Eracer_Team-DougH. Enjoy your guitar retreat! 🎸 🎼 🎵

Sorry for the late reply. Haven't been active in a while. Making steady progress

Thank you all. Keeping at it

Good Evening Ms. DianeB, I just finished watching Mr. Steve Krenz's video. It's a great start. I will get to dig deeper into the forums. Still Navigating. I looked at the book recommendations. They look great. How do you recommend using the forums? Post a question or idea? Search a topic? comment and reply on interesting topics? Thank you for all your help mam. I am a sponge for music learning and supporting. Let me know how I can make a meaningful impact! Merry Christmas, Warm wishes, Mohammed Lodhi
