25.01.2022 Need a music stand? Heres a few good options in the $10-15 range with free delivery! Cheers http://www.ebay.com.au/sch/i.html

24.01.2022 Some week inspiration to go with our beginners first lesson. It's good to watch someone live onstage playing what you all got close to in week 1! https://youtu.be/AhcttcXcRYY

24.01.2022 Just sayin... https://m.facebook.com/story.php?story_fbid=1550068578347481&id=367116489976035

24.01.2022 If you look close the chord shapes will look different to what weve learnt. Your playing the same chords, but in a different position, a good example of how we can tweak things a little to make it easier but still sound right! https://youtu.be/WsptdUFthWI

24.01.2022 Be warned, these can be downward spiral into late nights on youtube, but Tiny Desk Concerts have some truly inspiring acts. Play "spot that chord" and combined with the acoustic guitar closeups it's almost like practice! Check out Hozier, Oh Hellos, Pete Frampton, The National, Cat Stevens, Nickel Creek, The Civil Wars for a start https://youtu.be/rwvCEWWWt7Q

22.01.2022 To offset the greatness, its worth remembering there are only 12 notes from which all music you know and love is created (western music and in tune guitars at least) and very few use all of them! Music can be infinitely complex or beautifully simplistic... ***Small language warning****...skip to 1:00 to avoid... https://youtu.be/Co9mW_9hH2g

21.01.2022 So whats a capo and do I need one? A capos handy but not essential, what it lets you do is change the key of a song (make it sound higher) but still play the same chord shapes. A lot of artists will use it so they can play familiar (easier!) chord shapes, but put the key of the song in something that matches their singing range. You can play these songs without a Capo, either using the same chord shapes but in a lower sounding key, or by changing the chord shapes used. Ther...e are subtle tonal changes when suing a capo, so using one will be the most authentic match to the song trying to learn! If looking to get one, there are 1000s on ebay starting from a few bucks with free delivery. Id recommend the lever style for ease of use and function. MAKE SURE TO GET ONE FOR YOUR TYPE OF GUITAR, classical, acoustic and electric capos are subtly but importantly different! If you want something good I"d look at the "G7th" or "Shubb" brands starting from about $40-. Cheers

21.01.2022 Got that guitar out in anticipation of getting started? But not in tune and now sure how? This video is a great reference just for pitch of each string, assuming you know the mechanics of tuning: https://youtu.be/jJxRjWtwmEE This one's VERY detailed on all the ins and outs if your not sure where to start: https://youtu.be/bqPCtwibgPg

20.01.2022 BB King was a legend of the Blues. Gigging into his late 80's before passing, he's a reminder it's never too late! He was a master of saying so much with so few notes! https://youtu.be/TA-zCK0dEds

10.01.2022 Attendance was down for all classes today so we took the chance to consolidate & drill down on technique. Here's and example of where consolidating and drilling down on technique can get you! https://youtu.be/Ddn4MGaS3N4

09.01.2022 Interest is rolling in and its awesome to see! Learning a new skill is always a challenge, but I really encourage you make a cuppa and take 20 mins to watch the following. Its a great insight into how we learn & whats achievable with the right mindset (your job) and help (my job)! Cheers https://youtu.be/5MgBikgcWnY

07.01.2022 Tommy Emmanuel is one of Australias greatest fingerstylists and hardest working muso, Martin Taylor and of the great melodic Jazz masters. Separate their inspiring, together their interplay is pure magic! https://youtu.be/kHGzJnFong0

01.01.2022 ***********INFORMATION UPDATE************************** Hi Folks, The response to lessons has been fantastic, but this also means spots are close to full and if you haven't got the point of filling out an online form for me then at the moment you may miss out! I haven't locked things in but based on interest so far, it's looking like there will be 1 or 2 adults classes on a Sat night and 2 children's classless on a sat afternoon. That will be my cap and spots are about full.... So what do you need to do if interested? 1. Make sure you've PM'd me an email address. If you've expressed interest on the post then I think I've pm'd you...check your others folder & if not there let me know. 2. If you have Pm'd me then I think I've emailed you so if you haven't got it check your JUNK and then let me know. 3. If you've got an info pack, and are interested but haven't confirmed then send me an email to confirm. I hope to lock things in and confirm spots over the next few days. Cheers Pete
