Just a quick Hi to everyone. Joined Elite Guitarist today, full year subscription to the classical guitar module. Looking forward to leaning. Lets see what 2021 brings for all of us.
Learning to play the guitar is not an isolated experience. As a subscriber to our classical, jazz or blues online guitar lessons get the most out these lessons by getting involved in the EliteGuitarist community. Here you can get valuable help and offer encouragement to other students learning to play the guitar.
Ah typo spotted leaning instead of learning ........ well I suppose leaning could be used as I am leaning on everyone for support when trying to learn it. 😄
Hi John, welcome to EliteGuitarist. Happy New Year and may you experience great joy in learning how to play. Cheers!
Hi John...where are you based? I am in Northwich, Cheshire and have managed to find the money to re-subscribe here this year too. Look forward to seeing and hearing some posts & music from yourself!
Kind regards
Martin
Hi Martin - I'm just off the M6 - in Up holland (near Wigan). I've read your intro - very impressive going for your Grade 8. I have never taken Grades, maybe its something I should consider. I took to the guitar a 3 or 4 years ago. Tried various online self teaching methods. So I'm the classic play the guitar in the bedroom person. Never played in front of anyone - anyway I have Adelita, and Thou Art My Vision and a few others I'm learning. Never had a teacher only because there are so many out there I wouldn't know a good one from a bad one. Maybe in the next few weeks I'll have the nerve to post a video of me playing. Is this your main way of learning - through elite guitar?
Hi John
Not far away then in Wigan ;-). Thanks for reminding me and I have added an update to the intro/blurb on my area. Pretty much like yourself I tend to play for pleasure in my home although I do put myself out there now and again with the grades and a few very very small performances. You can post here and I also find instagram (mine is mullenms1) classical guitar family very supportive and a quick way to put up a performance or indeed what you are working on and questions. However I do believe that the instructional videos here are by and large the best out there on any platform.
All the best
Martin
Thanks for the advice re instagram etc. John
