Hello Everyone
« on: October 30, 2010, 02:55:33 AM »
Hello everyone,
I just joined this site yesterday. I posted a problem on Guitar Talk In General (B and E String Volume) I need help with. So if everyone can go there when you have a chance, I need help.

I am in the twilight of my 60s! But, since I retired last year my mind has reverted back to when I was a teenager and in my early 20s. I sarted lessons when I was 8 years old and took from the same teacher for four years. He never got me out of the first position! When I was in my 40s I took position study from a Berkley School graduate and I learned the entire fret board from him. Then I recorded four CDs on a four track recorder/mixer that I bought for that purpose.

Long story short, I did not play the guitar for about 22 years after that. Now I am trying to get my skills back to when I was 45 years old, then I feel I will be able to advance to the next level.

Robert, you are one of the best teachers on the net. Thank you for all your efforts. I am learning a lot from you and the others and can see I have a huge skill void to fill.

Hi bigfox.

I also recently started back to playing after a long time away from it. It does come back, at least for me it's getting there.

I posted a suggestion on your thread about the B and E String Volume. Hope it helps.

Hi BigFox-

After playing pro for about 14 years, I put it down for 10 years. I've been currently "re-playing" for 7 years. Botton line, you don't forget. You've got experience, and most importantly the desire, so you'll be okay before ya know it. The times have changed, you have changed, but you're still you.
