Favourite guitarist.

[daandaan]

work, broken finger....no time etc etc , effectively stopped me from playing ..

Oh, that sucks..

however i stopped working when i was 44 , Lucky me , however the broken finger stops me from beeing as good as i was ..

and i dont need to be a good guitarist anymore...

It's of course amazing if it's possible to be a virtuoso, but I at least am of the opinion that it's wonderful to play music if you really love it, no matter how good you are.

maybe when i have a kid , i will teach him ...i he wants

Not a bad idea. Thanks to my dad playing the guitar and flute for me and my sister when we were kids, I got in to music myself.

if u want to learn to make good guitar solos, u first have to learn some basic musical theorethics ..and be able to know the names of the notes of the scale WILE ur playing them ...its not only playing a pattern u ve copyed out of a book ..

u have to know what u r doing and where u find other notes outside of the pattern at 1 location u ve learned out of the book ..

then ...the trick !!

when u r good enough in musical theoretics ...AND COUNTING WHILE U U PLAY !!!!

then buy an old taperecorder with multiple speeds..the speeds must be half of the fasted speed ...like 19 cm /s the fastest ..the other must be 9,5 cm .s //

this ensures that what solo u record on the fast speed, will be 1 octave lower and half as slow.!!

in my days we had still records and turntable with adjustable speed...so u could tune ur guitar exactly in A...and then adjust the key the record is played in to that ...or make a compromise..so ur guitar played in the same key as the music on the record......

and 2 3 yrs of 4 hrs a day does the trick ...
