I find the barre form D7 sounds a lo like Em. What do you think? Maybe I'm wrong there. Have a great day.

Tell your tale to Yngwie Malmsteen. You can get many different sounds from any electric, as opposed to acacoustic

Topic: Teaching basic guitar (1 replies, posted in Acoustic)
My name is Joseph Cormier. I taught my younger brother everything I know about guitar, which wasn't much at that time, and likely still isn't! LOL! However, my experience in that case was to make absolutely sure that he really wanted to play the guitar. That helps. Why waste your time on someone who's not really serious about it. He went on to master eight or nine instruments, and far surpassed my meager talents. I'm sure he was serious now. I would suggest giving your students one lesson to practice, give them a week, and see how many return for more. Only a suggestion. Thankyou for your time. Best regards to all newcomers. <img src="images/smiley_icons/icon_razz.gif" border=0 alt="Razz">

Re: Lessons (14 replies, posted in Acoustic)
Yes, I believe it was the Chester playhouse where some fan stole Tom's hat right off his head. Funny story told to me by my Brother. Another one was where stompin' Tome went into a fancy hotel, let out a great big fart, and said, "By God, I am the wind!"

Re: Lessons (14 replies, posted in Acoustic)
Get some E-Z method chord books. Lessons can benefit you, but self taught is good too. Whatever you think is best for you. If you can sing, start out with song books with chords. Joseph Cormier, maybe you know my little brother J P?

Re: Tips for beginners (Seriously, Read this, it will help you alot) (47 replies, posted in Acoustic)
<img src="images/smiley_icons/icon_cool.gif" border=0 alt="Cool"> I didn't care for Yamaha, until someone gave me one as a gift. The coating is a little thick, but I don't mind it. One of my original guitars was a YAMAKI. Now that was a fine sounding instrument. My brother J P had a martin custom. Cost him fifteen thousand. It began to disintigrate while he was playing it on stage. He's heavy handed. He uses a tortoise shell pick given to him by Doc Watson at the Winfield flat top picking contest. As to coated strings, I gotta say they last a long time. Mine have been on for two years now, and still have their tone! But like you say, to each their own. The kibitzing back and forth was quite amusing though. You have some very valid points, that I fully respect.
