Finally found my self a teacher, been looking for a teacher since summer.
So I'm happy right now.
Then when I get better + get a toneport I can record clips of my beloved Rebel Yells.
He's the guitarist of a danish metal band called tribus http://www.soundvenue.com/band.asp?id=535
I think it sounds pretty cool, he just needs some Warpigs :lol:
No real reason for making this thread, just wanted to tell someone :P

Always good to hear of folks finding a good tutor
Once I get a job at home, I will finally get myself a tutor it's only taken me about 25 years to make the decision
-
nice one mate!
i had a similar experience not too long ago...
a good teacher can make such a HUGE difference to your playing..
so enjoy! :)

Don't you think it will be hard to find a teacher able to teach you something? When you played for so long.

From now on I will never mention the word teacher again, so I won't have to listen to everybodies sexual fantasies about Sambos "hot" teacher. :lol:

Between a complete lack of musical ability, acute stage fright (can't even play infront of my kids) and a huge break from attempting to play I should say theres a huge I could be taught.
As I have always been a techie, I tended to look for any excuse to avoid playing, and every excuse to modify stuff (sad but true).

You sound exactly like me. :(

Except I'm sure that you can play better.
Philly, as an diversion from Sambos hormonal problems ;)
There was an discussion a few weeks ago about Allan Holdsworths guitars we where both involved in, I found an old issue of Music UK (Nov 83) over xmas that I brought back with me. It details the Charvels he was using in those days.
Once I get some time I will type in the relevant section and post it in the original thread.

Don't bet on it, Rob. I can improvise endlessly (and clumsily) over a 12-bar blues in E, but that's about my limit.
Actually, I'm selling myself short. I can do A and G as well. :wink:
Looking forward to the Holdsworth article!

Stage fright must be a real pain-I have been gigging so many years now I don't get bothered though I still get buzzed enough to give an edge to my playing.I like the idea of getting a teacher to send me off in a new direction -pity I am not close to Sambo's teach.

I think it was becasue I was the only person who I knew who didn't give up learning to play withing 4 weeks of starting. It became a solitary activity (leading to dangerous ground arn't I). Also it leads to poor practice routines and a general lack of progress (for most people)
However because I learnt to juggle infront of other people I have all the confidence in the world and it dosn't cause me the slightest problem.
I guess it's conditioning, the old jazz guys couldn't play when sober, simply becasue they had become conditioned to play after a few drinks.
Hence I need a tutor to move my playing on to something than arsing around with nothing but a vague destination.

I'm sure I've said this before, but maybe it's true for you too - ever since I started playing and got interested in guitar, I've known a lot more in my head than I have in my hands.
That "gap" keeps getting bigger as the years pass, and whenever I think I must knuckle down and practice I really have no idea where to start or what direction to go in. It usually means I go right back to basics, quickly get bored then get lazy again...
I think you're right, finding a good teacher probably would be the best thing to do.

Excellent!
(mygawsh Kilby, I'd no idea A. H. had played a Charvel!)

You guys are riding around in the same boat I'm in....
I've just started with a teacher here in Oz and the first thing he said to me.
"Just by coming to practice with me once a week you've taken a huge step forward"
Money changing hands or not, he's right. I know he's right.
When I gave up lessons a few years a go to start an accoustic duet with a guy, just by playing twice a week with someone else I took huge leaps forward in my playing.
Once that fell apart I really didnt have anyone else to bounce off of for nearly 2 years. I can honestly say I really suck compared to my playing back then.
....So I'm back with a teacher and starting over again!

I had my first lesson today, and I really enjoyed it.
I didn't play so much, but he seems to "personalize" his teaching so that I will enjoy it. And that's great :D

Excellent, I'm sure it will take him a couple of lessons to work out what you need to work on coupled with what you actually want to do.
Congrats.

Thanks.
It also worked as motivation that he said i had a great technique, considering i only played a year.
It's more motivating when someone who plays guitar says that instead of your mom ;)
