That will be excellent when the holidays come around and you say "yea, I know that song" and they say "right on, we can use another player."  I bet that will be a blast.  I can second David's opinion of playing with others.  Still, I'll add that I think playing alone in a bedroom or basement is actually pretty boring compared to playing even with one other person.  Music comes alive when you feel off one another.]]> News corbind https://guitarnoise.forum/news/february-21-guitar-seminar/#post-53787 https://guitarnoise.forum/news/february-21-guitar-seminar/#post-53786 Thu, 05 Feb 2004 21:26:46 +0000
I'm 46 (and a half! if that counts!) and have been playing since I was seventeen. The real fun of playing for me has always been in jamming with other people, regardless of age or style or ability. I think it's going to be a lot of fun meeting everyone and (hopefully) getting people to feel more comfortable with playing and learning lots of new things!

See you there!

Peace

I have been lurking on these boards for a few months now, really enjoying how well done the site is and how supportive the boards are.

I have recently decided to take the plunge and go to Davids strumming seminar. I am wondering who else is going? I am quite excited about this learning experience.

A bit about me:
I am 47 and have owned a guitar since i was maybe 13. I liked folk music in those days, and tried playing Peter Paul and Mary songs, as well as some others. It is very hard for me, I have to work real hard for a little accomplishment. I learned a few songs, but without a teacher or friends who i could learn from (the only other person i knew with a guitar was a musical whiz, and her fingers flew!!! ...and i always felt so inadequate, i just couldn't play with her), I moved on to other interests.

Since then, i have picked up the guitar here and there, even taking lessons once. He was a great teacher, believing that if you loved the music and could hear it in your head, with work, it would come out your fingers. He inspired me, and i learned three Neil Young songs. This teacher worked the theory and technique learning into the songs. After just a couple months, though, his life changed, and he had to give up his students.

I needed a career change, so i completed my masters degree. Now, education finished, my job stable, my family stable, the guitar calls again. This time, i want to really answer the call!!!!!....

I have relearned what i knew before, plus a little more from hanging out here and i am ready now to move forward. I know a group of people who play neil young and we get together a few times a year. I have always been a spectator, but this year, i want to be up with the musicians. I will be more than satisfied if i can sit in the back with a chord book and strum along and sing. That is my goal for now!

I wonder if anyone else reading this is going to be at the seminar and would like to introduce themselves??
