As I wake up and start brewing my coffee first thing in the morning, I like to ask my Alexa to tell me the “Question of the day” which is a bit of random trivia (I do love a quiz). It is fun, and it usually has a few fun bonus questions too. In a similar format, I thought I’d ask you some questions today, a little guitar quiz.
Here we go…
While it’s easy to find a guide to buying a guitar, many of us still struggle to take the leap. As guitarists, one thing many of us tend to do is get overly attached to our guitars, and often our first guitar.
The problem is, most of the time, the first guitar you own is NOT the most ideal one for you.
Recently, I posted a short five-part series of Facebook posts about all the things that bug me as a teacher in the world of guitar tuition.
It is not too serious, you may or may not agree with all of these, but either way, there are some useful pointers for things to watch out for, and some of these will give you a bit of insight into my mindset from a teaching perspective.
I’m not sure how much I have written about this before, but it is a popular idea with my one-to-one students.
…And it is a simple one too.
It involves learning the most popular melody of all time…
…Taking a quick video of yourself playing it
…and sending it to a loved one on their birthday.
The melody, of course, is “Happy birthday”.
