"After years of getting nowhere , picking it up putting down , it was driving me crazy .. All I ever wanted to be was “ The worlds greatest rock n roll star ! “ And then she dumped me , cheated with another man , throw all my stuff onto the pavement , told me to never come back ! . I cut a sorry figure as I trudged up the road back to my crumby flat . I grabbed a bottle of whiskey from the store and sat down to drink , just me and my broken heart . I hit a u tube channel and as if by magic a name I’d never heard before flashed before my eyes ..Fred Macdowell.. It was an epiphany!! .. That’s how you play guitar ... you slide the thing ..next stop , Shane Speal , he got a set of wire cutters and literally just cut 3 strings out and tuned to GDG .. it all became much clearer .. The lord shone his light .. White boy had the blues . Half a bottle of whiskey later and I had played my first Deep South blues grind . 2 and a bit years later I’ve just bought a lovely old Resonator , and I’m having the best fun .. and I still don’t even know which one is the B string !! If your struggling with a whole heap of fancy pant chord changes .. slide it .. make some noise .. " I never tried a resonator but the sound definitely is something else | |||

"I play guitar quite a lot. I'm half decent and I'm planning on being fully decent one day. Luke Sounds a that progress have been made or is going to be made " Well I'm an accomplished pianist with a music degree (see our video for a modest example), so musical thinking and practice regime is built into me. I'm currently in a place where I can't have a piano so I've been playing my guitars a lot instead. I know where I'm trying to get to and largely how I'm going to get there and I think it's achievable. | |||

"I play guitar quite a lot. I'm half decent and I'm planning on being fully decent one day. Luke Sounds a that progress have been made or is going to be made Well I'm an accomplished pianist with a music degree (see our video for a modest example), so musical thinking and practice regime is built into me. I'm currently in a place where I can't have a piano so I've been playing my guitars a lot instead. I know where I'm trying to get to and largely how I'm going to get there and I think it's achievable." I just checked love it , i remember time ago saw the video i think you had more at the time ? | |||

"Yeah, playing 20 years. Went back to college and got a music degree and played in several bands for maybe 13 years (and go again whenever we can). Have taught for a few years along with uke, piano and recorder. Also love recording and writing at home. It’s just an escape to get lost in music!" That's one of the things i regret more giving up from music classes at school when i was almost 12 the surf board toke over. Sometimes i think why i could not keep with music classes? I think because living near the beach | |||

"I know 3 chords and the truth I think is a good start as there's hundred of musics that only they use 3 chords like D , c and G " There are indeed and they're about my level! I love playing but make no claims to be any good (mainly because I'm not!) but I snapped a string late last year and still haven't replaced it | |||

"I found the F Barr chord and the G chord the most challenging G is easy but usually the f bar chord is the one most people struggle " I can vouch for this. The F Barr chord has almost stopped me in my tracks. Just can't get all the strings. I have got 5 strings a couple of times. But the 2nd string eludes me. Practice practice, I know. Any advice appreciated. | |||

I've never been musically minded, but am absolutely loving it. "Oh I’m too impatient. At 12 I played my friends drum kit for the first time, within 15 mins I was playing 4-4 beat so I carried on. I’m not good at doing things I suck at and seeing no swift progression | |||

Just keep plugging away at it and eventually you get the strength to hold the strings down. Exercises help accelerate it (spiders/hammers etc) | |||
