25 Sep 01 - 08:43 PM (#558785) Subject: Eager Guitar Student From: 53 I am impressed! Bob has a new student whose guitar had to go to the shop before he could get more than one lesson in. Clever 14 yr old - he got a board, drew strings and finger positions for practicing that first week. When he came today, with his guitar - straight from the shop- he was already ready for his 2nd lesson. (And No Calluses from that practice.) Who woulda thought.....? Glenda |

I don't think I would have thought of that solution, (though I have at times practiced mentally, which can also help). With an attitude like his, this student should go quite far. Nice to see, thanks for the report. BlueJay |

26 Sep 01 - 06:03 AM (#559080) Subject: RE: BS: Eager Guitar Student From: Allan C. Truth is that a lot of early difficulties in learning to switch chords is in getting your fingers to form the shapes as you place them onto the strings. When I was learning (at about that same age,) I often practiced the shapes on my textbooks while at school and have recommended doing something similar to others. But I have to hand it to this young enthusiast, he improved on that concept quite a bit. Please extend to him my congratulations and admiration. |

26 Sep 01 - 06:29 AM (#559090) Subject: RE: BS: Eager Guitar Student From: 53 Thanks for the comments. Textbooks, huh? I am thankful to have a guitar to learn on that fits me. The kid is truly resourceful and anxious to learn. He will be a joy to teach. Bob needed one like him about now! Wish he'd get about 5 more with that desire to learn. Anyone know anyone in the Myrtle Beach, SC area wants to learn to play too? ;-) Glenda |
