Diving into first serious lesson - Vincent

<r>I've been wanting to learn Vincent forever. As I mentioned in my intro a few weeks back, I've been dabbling (struggling) with the guitar off and on for 10 years and have been trying to learn Vincent from tabs on the internet. But they just don't seem to sound anything like how Mclean does it and ...

Re: >> Newest Target members only lesson - Fly On The Wall - Dust In The Wind with Kevin

<t>I sure do appreciate these videos, and I give lots of credit to Kevin for allowing us to watch him. I'm still trying to build my skills with the free beginner stuff but I do dabble with the intro to dust in the wind. It's great to get Neil's teachings with someone more my speed. Makes me wish I l...

Re: Campfire Songs, Horse with no name by America

<t>I happen to be practicing Horse with no Name also. I got the strum rythym down fairly easily as long as I don't go too fast. Now I'm trying to do the bass note on the downstroke of beat 1. I tend to hit two strings instead of 1. One thing I discovered was I was using too soft a pick and going sli...

Wannabe in Wisconsin

<t>Hi all. I played Trombone in High School. My fondest memories of high school revolve around music. I always wanted to play guitar but never took time to do anything about it. When I turned 40 (in 2002) I decided it was time to take lessons, so I borrowed a low-end guitar from a friend and signed ...
