Neil et all,

I had to undergo tendon surgery on on my right hand on Tuesday morning. All is well and the prognosis is great. But now that I can't pick up a guitar and practice, I still need to continue learning. So I turn to Neil and my TG friends for reading material to keep me engaged over the next 6 to 8 weeks until my hand is back 100%.

Neil... would guitar theory be an appropriate pastime to consider while I am sans guitar? Do any books immediately come to mind that you feel would be beneficial? Or perhaps left hand exercises for muscle memory. Any ideas?

Peace to all,

Rev Kate

Rev Kate - sorry to hear about your surgery. i hope you have a speedy recovery. get well soon

Hi GMom,

One of the books I really recommend is The Guitar Handbook by Ralph Denyer. Start there...

Neil

Based upon your recommendation I ordered it from Amazon for delivery tomorrow.

Thanks!

Get well soon, Kate.

Keep Studying

Hi Kate get well soon, it must be a bit frustrating not being able to play. But I suppose a good time to reflect on things and do some study.

cheers

Thanks everyone! I ordered the book that Neil suggested and will provide a 'book report' sometime next week! 0:)

I just stumbled upon a new app from Microsoft called SongSmith. It seems pretty cool though I haven't tried it yet. If you're a singer it might be of some interest to you during you recooperation.....

Many Thanks!

Kate, here is a link to some great article on guitars and all things musical. Lots of good reading.
