Hi.

My Purpose – Related to guitar.

I too bought a lovely used acoustical strum guitar and I’d like to someday be able to use it in service, like at the nursing home, or to cheer a shut in, etc.   I already owned a student classical guitar, but am a beginner.

My Plan.

I haven’t picked up the guitar in a couple months due to other unavoidable things.  So I’ve got some catching u…Read More

Neat Idea.  I also pause.  I’ll have to try that.

Hello and God bless

I lasted for about a half hour, then I did pack it up.  It was a circus.  I do not think I could have outplayed the loudness, as the radios/CD/MP3/boats/cars/trucks/RVs/etc… were using amplified speakers.  Helped possibly because of the valley terrain, some boat radios from the lake were resounded off of the hills surrounding the park.   You could hear as if you sat beside the radi…Read More

Thanks for the comment, I usually try to build on what I can do, add in pieces I struggle with until I can.  It takes time and dedicated practice.

Hello to you too!  Glad to know you are joining the class!

Great to know you are part of the crew!  Welcome and hope we all learn lots together!

Hi Brad:

Welcome Brad! So Glad you have joined us. I sure agree with you about the guitar not being an easy instrument to learn. I struggle too but we just have to keep stumming away. We are in this together and we will succeed. Looking forward to hearing how you are progressing.
All the best to you Brad.

I’m sorry for the loss of your grandpa, Cheryl. May the Lord comfort your heart until you meet again.
I’m so happy you played for your grandpa. I’m thinking that he never heard such sweet music that day…because it was you who played it for him. That was so special and something you will never forget. Keep that torch going!

Follow up to my plan and purpose:

I just returned from traveling on a long ago planned trip to visit my best friend in San Diego.  I had strong feelings about going, and repeatedly spoke to family about changing it.  I was uneasy because my Grandpa was failing in health.  My family said he would tell you to go and enjoy yourself, so go.  I went.

I called daily, because of the unr…Read More

Hello James,

I share your feeling of being drawn here.  I truly hope you will enjoy the good spirit here.  Even though I have never met this group in person, it feels like a family.  We are all trying to keep everything our own life needs us to do, and to fulfill a need to learn, make music, and have fun (even if it is hard work).  Great to have you here!
