Here's a vid I posted before and I think it's the best help I've seen. The guitar guild I belong to had sent this to all the members and it went over well.

A quote from Ray Wylie Hubbard that he said come from Woody Guthrie

" A Folk Singer's Job is to comfort the disturbed and disturb the comfortable."

If you check out the video , notice that the guitars are unplugged and how great the audio is on this and how good the resolution is also.

Sorry John , Teacher knows best        He's Correct !

Yes !     Lowell a talented man.

I have helped some kids get started and one thing very important. Is the guitar they are trying to learn on playable. The first boy I helped get started come with his guitar and just had a terrible time and got so frustrated cause he couldn't do any of the very basic things I was doing. We switched guitars and his guitar was unplayable, the action was way too high and even in the first position I couldn't fret any strings.
It is normal to have sore fingers when you start, but a beginner should have a guitar that is user friendly. There are alot of good guitars out there that are not expensive.

Another thing some call them cheater chords, but I see nothing wrong with teaching kids shortcuts to get them started strumming a couple chords, then on to some tunes. If they have fun they have abetter chance of sticking with it.

Hey Zurf,

You reminded me of a time I was in New Orleans and was turned on to Beau Jocque the King of Cajun. His CD"s are awesome.

Good for you Tuba,
They are precious angels aren't they ? Luke loves his bongos and because Poppy always wears a hat he has to have his cowboy hat on before he will play. Luke still has a short attention span, he's only 4 yrs old, about 10 minutes usually and he's off to see what gramma's doing.
