G day fro WA

Hello all

after about 2hrs of searching I findly found the introduce me thread. Navigating around here is time consuming.

Anyhow I have been learning now for 14 mths Im 38 from Australia. I wished I had not left it so long before deciding to learn. I always believed you had to be talented and musical to be able to play. So i never bothered as I was neither of the two, but I love music and always envied those who could play. I met a church friend who played and he encouraged me to learn.

I have bought other lessons off the internet, some good some not so good, then I found Neils site while youtubing how to play who'll stop the rain (love CCR) John fogerty buy the way anyone know the strumming for rock n roll girls lol.

And so far Im impressed with Neils style and teaching, especially how he breaks down a song and shows the STRUMMING pattern.

So I think I have found the place that will take me to where I want to be

cheers
Brad

The only dumb question is the one you didn't ask.
We love to help out anyway we can.

Neil has a policy of letting us answer first and if we are way off base then he jumps in and corrects us all in one fell swoop. So you can have confidence in the answers you will be getting here, even if Neil did not post it.

I always believed you had to be talented and musical to be able to play.

... and then you found us TG members and you realised you were perfectly qualified to join, right?

Welcome from Switzerland Brad! We have Austria next door and 50% of Americans think that's the same as Oz so we're neighbours . Just like to point out that the Americans here belong to the other 50%, of course. Hope you have a ball here. The antipodal community here is small but influential... and we love em!
