Learn To Play The Acoustic Guitar
Posted in Acoustic Guitar on August 20th, 2008 by Carol – Be the first to commentHave you ever wished you could play guitar? Heard a track played by one of the greats, such as Eric Clapton, and longed to have just a little of that magic at your fingertips? Well, you’re not alone. When asked for a skills “wish list”, around half of the people I questioned wished they had learnt to play the guitar. When I asked them what was stopping them, their answers included not having time, being unable to read music and getting too old to learn.
I had news for them.
If you want something, you make time. Anybody can learn to read guitar notation with the method I’m going to tell you about. And you’re never, never too old! If I can learn to play acoustic guitar aged 46, left-handed and unable to read music, then so can you!
When I was younger, I really wanted to be a guitar player. I scraped together enough money to buy my first guitar and spent hours (when I should have been studying) trying to pick out a tune. I actually managed to teach myself to pick out “Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star” and was thrilled to bits with myself.
But then one night I took my precious guitar to a party, and a big ox of a guy managed to step on it by mistake. He did his party trick of jumping off the table – and put his foot right through it!
I wasn’t pleased, and told him so – in no uncertain terms.
That was 20 years ago and I’m still married to him. And no, I’ve never quite forgiven him!
But I was quite surprised when – on our 20th anniversary – he presented me with a new acoustic guitar and this amazing product to teach me how to play it.
It’s called Jamorama – and if it can teach me, it can teach anybody.
Aww..How cute is that – he’d never forgotten.
All the best,
