Musicmakers Livestream #1 - Guitar Q&A & Bonus Tips! 🤘

[@dcjway]

Thank you Mike and your team. I started with you in February 2021. I’m a lifelong musician and started on trumpet in 1970. Your courses gave me a great foundation to build on and since then have been able to improve my skills. At the urging of a friend I started going to local open mic blues jams. I’m retired and having a great time, thanks for all you do.

Mike, I am a 74 yr old guitar player, well guitar learner. I have a lot of experiences with trainers, teachers, etc. and I just want to tell you that your style is one of the best I have ever seen. I love this new livestream and it is interesting and educational. Keep it going.

[@MikeKennedyUK]

Thank you so much!

Thank you Mike! Great job. One very small thing, you might want to monitor your audio output and how received. Seemed to vary, and be different for each speaker. Perhaps it was on my end. Thanks again.😎

Another Great vid, 2am and -2 Celsius not an ideal time to watch, That fellow that had trouble seeing his fret board while standing other than the obvious stop looking for your fret board, he may like to try a strip of builders tape (non damaging) and place this above his fret board then place glow in the dark neon fluorescent numbers on the tape, then he has a small guide while its required, when things get hard remember the brain loves to learn. If this has any merit maybe next show you could show this in action. Hey don't laugh too much they now sell hellishly expensive guitars like this.

I sit with my strap on when sitting with the guitar, so when I stand I have the same position

Hi Mike not sure if my question went to the live chat, but I needn’t know can me and my son play Acoustic Guitar through my 20watt amp, using a splitter. Thank you

[@MikeKennedyUK]

Hi Peter, we replied at 51:25 👍

[@tomsmith8515]

you might in the next show talk about an AB-Y (2 inputs one out, or Two outputs 1 input) box. I first heard about these when some one asked could they play Rocksmith and output it also through their guitar amp to try and dial in sounds@@MikeKennedyUK

[@morizpro]

Hello mike this is moriz that you always email, sorry I missed live stream but I enjoyed replay, can you help me with beats if possible, keyboard beats

[@classicraceruk1337]

I have not got a clue what I am doing!!! Sounds like me butchering the guitar.

[@bigears1955]

Hi its how we all start, just keep at it results don't come straight away practice even for 10 minutes a day and you will get there.

[@classicraceruk1337]

@@bigears1955 Maybe, I have practiced 250hrs still iffy. I am 70 now, I started when I was 66.

[@bigears1955]

@@classicraceruk1337 hi I'm now in my late 60s never thought I could matter barre chords now I can, learning pentatonic scales seemed impossible but know I can, stick at it never give up you will have triumphs however small but you will do it. Best of luck

[@classicraceruk1337]

@@bigears1955 I won’t give up but I saw my kids learn easily. My daughter is a professional violinist, Grade 8 pianist and is a music teacher at a conservatoire. My son has Grade 8 classical guitar and can play just about anything including rock guitar. He is a Grade 8 violinist as well. My shambolic sounds are pretty crap against that!!!!!.

[@bigears1955]

Hi don't judge yourself to harshly I was just the same, started later in life we have kids a career which probably prevents us starting earlier. But now is your time, I'm retired so I have more time to play, you must not compare yourself with your son or daughter I'm sure they would encourage you to proceed with the guitar. We know its a difficult instrument to learn but then again nothing is gained easily and that's what makes it more worthwhile when you achieve results, keep trying best of luck to you,.
