Just this week I realized that if I hadn't been able to figure out a bar chord in 25 years... I should probably at least try a lesson, so I asked my son's teacher to squeeze me in for a lesson. ( Yes, Rick, I've been reading all your posts on 6 finger chords....)

Long story short, this wonderful and fexible young man simply helped me physically put my fingers in place and I know it can work now with practice.

Of course as a classiclly trained, rock instructor , he doesn't know Country Blues.... but he kept sight reading pieces out of the Stefan Grossman book, made me start a piece and told me to try and get a tape and to please come back cause the music was fun... He kept mumbling as he played each piece... "Oh that's not what I expected..."
