Hi NP
I once saw "perfect practice makes perfect" and I used to say it all the time to my daughter. For some people understanding it early on in their interest in life shows. I strongly believe in teaching your children that plus ourselves 
, it is really hard to do if talent is missing though.
Good luck with your website, nice layout
If you are a songwriter they have some areas of the site that can help you out
I guess a guitar magazine and some strings, that 'd it for me
hello there andd joinn the crowd 
So America is now like China

Like I said America is the new China 
Are you playing drums on this
Gosh Olly, this is really some nice playing
Really liked listening to it
Kind of sounds like a Marshall amp I'm hearing
A nice little Blues shuffle lick in A There are some position shifts required, so take it slow. The hook consists of a Major 3rd being played against the minor 3rd, very tasty.
Thanks for posting your licks, but can you include a sound file with them, that would help me and all of us here out a lot to actually here how the lick is to sound
again thanks

Hey redno, sorry but I made a mistake on the placement of the notes, please check the post for the placement of the notes, I guess doing this if fun for me but I hate to make mistakes

I check it out today and it works fine for me
This one is an off take of the first Chicago blues lick, notice the different strings in use. If you go with the down / up picking and mute the strings you'll get that rhythm going. On the last 3 notes , it is a triplet and use a pull off on the second note.
Go slow like I did and with much practice that pull off will come smoothly, well at least it finally did for me. I'm playing it 4 times, and there is a break between bars, kind of a long break

I'll do my best, to help where I can.
Ive already posted some in theory sections, have you seen those yet?
Instructor
I'll check them out now
and thanks
How long have you been playing? It's fun when you are tinkering and you get a little riff idea that you can follow to see where it goes!
Instructor
Hi Instructor
Thanks for listening.
I've had a guitar on and off for many years, but play'n it , oh well, but since I started to record and post my clips , many people have said I've improved 100 fold. I can't play other peoples songs so I just write my own stuff, which I enjoy doing. My comfort zone is in writing lyrics though and not so much as a guitar player. Any suggestions on how I should approach learning the guitar to play music, please tell me. Thanks
Hi John
I like your idea. I really like the way that you experiment with the sounds you get. This sound seems different from all the others that I have heard despite the blues theme remaining!
Do you have intentions of developing this one any further or is it going to remain just a little jam?
Hi olly
It will just remain a little jam, kind of a mental exercise on letting my mind wonder musically 
let me try
nope can't figure this one out
Nice site and thanks
will be checking out your free mini courses
do you add to them often
How do you post icons
Hi instructor and welcome to the site
Just recently I wanted to start learning about how music works, so please post a bit about something about music theory here on the forum
thanks
Here's a little something I was toy'n around with

comments are welcome
This speech is tops.
I like how she said I will not talk about the wiki leaks and says they are the guilty ones
This speech was so well crafted by the dept. of war psychology dept. that it has got to go down in history as the best speech ever. I like how she say's "our foreign policy is of public record", well it sure it true now , if it wasn't in the past

I like the 60's feel. Also I notice that you can color your notes with some pretty good rhythm patterns.
So now, we all here can expect you to keep posting you music
Yeah that looks pretty straightforward. Do you read music or do you stick to the tabs?
I mostly read the tabs, but I can read music with no sharps or flats so I think it is in just the key of C
