OFF TOPIC - for the music lovers and the "awww how sweet " crowd
start at the beginning - DS now has an electric guitar. His sole
accomplishment so far is to play the opening bars of "Smoke on the Water" (Deep Purple) and the odd riff that is not totally discordant. (I think he's trying for discordant BTW.) This AM - he's playing that over and over. DH gets out his guitar (a Martin) and starts trying to echo DS. DD receives permission to use the "cheap" guitar ("student guitar"). DS show her which frets to hit the E string in order and next thing you know the three of them are playing it VERY VERY SLOWLY....... DD is now trying to work on her speed - the guitar is only slightly smaller than her. Cheryl |

OFF TOPIC - for the music lovers and the "awww how sweet " crowd
When my DH was taking guitar lessons last year I heard "Smoke on the Water"
a lot. He eventually progressed to LaGrange by ZZ Top. He finally gave it up...too much wrist and finger pain at age 49 and dealing with his father's health issues the first part of this year conflicted with the lessons. It really is too bad because I know it helped him de-stress from his job in the evening when he practiced. "Cheryl Isaak" wrote in message ... start at the beginning - DS now has an electric guitar.

You have no idea how much this cheers me! I have wanted to pick the
guitar back up for years but never quite had the courage. I just recently bought a Fender Accoustic (coolest thing, though, it has the electric guitar .. head?) and plan to start relearning as soon as I get the living room rearranged to accomodate it (means moving piles around). I just turned 49, so it's encouraging to me to hear of other beginner's or late bloomers. I took lessons for several years in the preteen era, but had major difficulty with the particular guitar I had and having short, fat fingers. I had/have an old classical guitar with a really wide, fat neck. I couldn't manage chords for the life of me. I had mentioned this to my guitar collecting manager and well... wouldn't ya know.. he pulls this Fender out and says try this... I can finger the neck without having to be a contortionist! And it sounds soooo good.... (when HE plays, anyway... LOL) Tegan BonnieBlue wrote: When my DH was taking guitar lessons last year I heard "Smoke on the Water" a lot.

That's too bad! I know DH enjoys it when he plays, but the only thing he
knows is Blackbird (The Beatles).

Cheryl I hope that you really like Deep Purple ;^) Y'know - they might have a future as the skating, rockin', version of the Von Trapps.... Just don't let them do Stairway to Heaven. And now - they're going to have to watch Wayne's World - over and over and over. Sounds like fun. At least music lessons are in a warm place. ellice |
