Hi annie:

Welcome to a great spot!

I think I followed you into the live training yesterday.

You asked some great questions. I think you’ve already

figured it out, Tomas is a great guy. Your musical Back ground

will serve you well. Hey don’t sweat the bar chords yes you won’t

do it in a day. Follow tomas’ Bar chord lesson DON”T try to do it in a hurry

Little by little you will get them. I repeat don’t rush it.

Welcome again and good luck.

Jack

Oh.. I play a fender acoustic also.

Hi Carl

Welcome! we’re neighbors I’m over in Hereford AZ South of Sierra Vista. New, Heck we’re all new .

It’s just some newbies have more time in than others. Retired? You’ll fit in just fine’

It’s possible the only one that is not is Tomas. That works out just right because

he has to work hard to keep all of us happy. I think this is a great spotand I believe you

will also

Best of Luck

Jack

Hi Adam You asked so I’ll tell you. I probably took guitar lessons before you were born. Then life happened (long story).

about fifteen years ago I got serious about classical guitar. I soon learned I was no good. Didn’t learn much music.

except ‘ You play it like this because that’s the way it is written!’ But a fellow student and I actually made a little money

playing backgound music ( He was even worse than I am) But, with two guitars any thing sounds good and

the audience isn’t listening anyway. got hurt.  had to layoff a couple of years. and then I found Tomas !

I’m still no good BUT I know more and I’m having fun.

Hi Larry

I certainly agree with Tomas. But, here is a different twist that may help you. [This will not work if you are using any open strings.]

A way to help you remember scales is to pay attention to the shape of the scale (pattern) (sequence),

and the note and string it starts on. odds a very good that it will repeat. You can play another scale if

you play the same Pattern using the same string and a different note.

I intentionally left out the theory. don’t dwell on this it’s just a tip.

Jack

Oh the name of the scale is the first note you play.

Where the heck is Alameda? Is it in the LA area?

I’m Jack. Born and raised in Albany Calif.

I spent time at the old Navel Air Station  in the Marine Corps.

I’m in Arizona now. I’ve been here with Tomas awhile now.

It’s been a very good experience. He’s very helpful.

If you need him use him.

Best of luck

Hi Matt

Welcome to the group. I have found this site to be VERY helpful.

And, like you I’m not a newbee. Tomas has helped me with many things

and I appreciate his efforts. I’m certain it will be the same for you.

Good Luck

Welcome Graham:

Yes… But it can be done Hi I’m Jack for Hereford AZ

for what its worth I’m 78 you’ll also run into Bob he’s 79

OK, an old guy’s advice. Pay close attention to Tomas’s details on chord fingering

and slow down. when you think you’ve slowed down go slower 🙂

Your trying to build muscle memory. As we get older our muscles

get dumber. Mine are downrite stupid!

Good Luck and enjoy your trip.

Hi Larry I actually know where you are.

Tomas has had to do that with all of us.

He’s just a kid and still has  a lot of energy

‘that will probably draw a response he just had a birthday ect. ect.ect.

Larry do you have enough guitars? Sounds  like your

freshly retired so you must owe yourself one more!

I think you picked the right spot good luck

with your endeavor.

Jack
