Yes, we'll put. I'm so focused on one task that I can't perform another. I can't even put a sentence together while noodling on a guitar.

I do believe you either can play them or you can't. Just a personal opinion. You can always develop a better skill and become great, or maybe learn a simple beat out of repetition. I just think you will either be able to play them or you can't.

I'm sort of opposite. I like to sing, but I don't like to sing without playing guitar or drums also. I feel awkward.

Those who can sing while playing the drums or bass have my complete respect. I don't know how the hell they do it.

My dad taught me to tune and my five major chords on guitar when I was 13, and I took off from there.

The thing that sucked is I'm left handed, and I tried playing left handed at first, but my dad made me learn right handed. I probably could have been a lot better.

I'm left handed, but forced myself to learn right handed. I didn't know how to string the damn thing and no one in my family plays, so I just stuck with it.


This is from thanksgiving 2012. Pretty sloppy. Any other video or recordings I have has my name in them so I'm not posting those. The sound quality is pretty shitty in this.

There's so much emo in that video of you and your friends playing but I'll vouch for you because there was also a lot of talent

You like it though. You and I made out while listening to My Chemical Romance after.

Guitar. Self taught, with a few lessons thrown in at the beginning, also YouTube and Internet sites.
Oh, and lots of practice practice practice

Damn, us lefties gotta stick together. I knew the so-called disadvantages of playing left-handed, especially having a limited number of models to choose from, but at 53 I was too old to change. And while the limited access thing is unfortunate, playing left-handed means you're in the brotherhood of lefties, a small but cool club of sorts.

I currently own:
• Seagull Coastline 12-string
• Larrivee L-03
• Taylor 110
• Eastman E10D

Buy an electric but don't plug it in to the amp so you don't hear how shitty you sound.

Find all the I-IV-V chord progressions and run through those chord combos everyday for a couple hours. Learn both Barre and open chords.

Learn minor pentatonic scale and all notes on the fretboard.

Make panties wet.
