I have never found a hobby or pastime so obsorbing as trying to play my guitar.
I have usualy gotten to the end of my interest in things after a couple of years and moved on to new stuff.
I am crap at normaly structured learning,my long suffering guitar tutor would attest to that.
So how it goes now is that I write a song incorporating something new (to me) in the way of playing.
Then by the time I have learned me new song I have also had several hours practice on the guitar.
It just works better for me.
Though I doubt it will ever create as good player out of me,as formal training may..at least I am enjoying it.
We each attain what we can dont we.
I have heard WLD and Dougie and Nick play,all completely different sounds and materiel all very good.
I know that most of the people I meet anywere who play are likely to have better technique or better knowledge of music or more tallent or years more experience.
But the majority of them are good enough to give a few tips and hints.
I have just posted a couple of new songs on myspace and if anyof you have the time or inclination I would apreciate your comments.
Cheers.
