Re:Just joined within the past few weeks

<t>Rick:<br/> <br/> Thanks! I am learning my way around, so the differentiation between what is and isn't Target will become more clear as I explore the site. I am starting to work on the Guitar College course now, so as time permits, I will be dropping in here to check forums, new lessons, and that...

Re:Just joined within the past few weeks

<t>Rick and Ric:<br/> <br/> Thanks for the welcome! I suspect that many here have similar backgrounds and (like me) are always learning new things. This site is laid out quite differently from other sites I have visited, so it will take some time to figure out what is where, especially what is "Targ...

Just joined within the past few weeks

<t>This is probably the first post I should have made...:huh: <br/> <br/> My name is Tony and I have been playing guitar for quite some time, having taught myself back in the 70s.

Re:Arranging a song for solo guitar

<t>One thing I remember Joe Pass saying was that if something is difficult for you to play, it will be difficult for the audience to listen to. He stressed choosing chord voicings that were easy to get into and easy to get out of so that the playing remained smooth. Clearly, Neil can handle these bi...

Re:Arranging a song for solo guitar

<t>Thanks for the responses! <br/> <br/> I think this would be an easy thing to produce. What I am suggesting is not really to "teach" but to allow us to be a "fly on the wall" while Neil arranges a tune, thinking out loud. He doesn't have to explain anything, but simply do what he would do to arran...

Arranging a song for solo guitar

<t>Being new here, but not new to the guitar or Neil hogan's work, I have a suggestion. I would really like to see a lesson or (more likely) a series of lessons in which Neil takes a song and arranges it on camera, step by step. I want to see his overall work flow. I have a book he put together some...
