Neil: I wanna read you a question that came in which is actually what inspired me to call you a few days
\nago<\/p>\n

MattB: Excellent<\/p>\n

Neil: And so you can, and again one of the things I told you when we talked a few days ago was that
\nyou know unfortunately you sort of fallen off my radar with everything I’ve been wrapped up in dealing.
\nUntil this question came in Matt, my heart on Matt somebody getting and learning to play a guitar and
\nthat he can’t see and again it’s like fireworks went off you know and said I don’t need to answer that
\nquestion I can get that answer from a resource that a little more first one experienced with that<\/p>\n

MattB: (laughing)<\/p>\n

Neil: So, we got this question into support from somebody who I think has been on that side already;
\nHi! Neil I lost my sight when 3 years ago and began playing the guitar to maintain my sanity. I’m fairly
\nfamiliar with first, second and root 5 chords, I haven’t bring in question we’re it’s on their but probably
\nwe’ll come position towards<\/p>\n

MattB: Yeah<\/p>\n

Neil: I have a burning desire to become a solo finger style guitarist and that’s the problem. I find
\nthousands of good arrangements I can download its tabs but I can’t see them. I’ve watched a couple of
\nyour free lessons and you’re doing a great job explaining, so I can follow easily, you don’t have might
\nattain my goal another site blah… has great arrangements and I can’t benefit from them co’z I can’t see
\nthe tabs eventually I hope my playing becomes good enough for me to do my own arranging of aviating?
\nNeed for tabs. A well known guitarist from Orlando Tommy Dalton…have you heard him?<\/p>\n

MattB: The name is familiar but I don’t know why<\/p>\n

Neil: Was giving me telephone lessons and he wouldn’t accept payments and I think he lost interest. I’m
\nvery serious of finger style, but kind of frustrating not to find instruction on an audio, so I can benefit. I
\nfound your site on YouTube and checked it out. You think it would push me towards my goal any advise
\nis most appreciated.<\/p>\n

MattB: Oh Yeah! Iearn it sounds like you’re doing exactly what he needs<\/p>\n

Neil: I think so, and I guess I wanted to do is get back to him and let him know that, I think a lot of my
\nlesson are fairly we’re explaining pretty well even if you can’t see the tab. But I make it a point to and
\nmaybe we’ll have you on some of these and in you’re explanations of your lessons. You\u2019re more specific
\nof where you are on the net because it’s really fresh in your head of what you’re doing.<\/p>\n

MattB: I always do that anyway I never really say here, here and there, there<\/p>\n

Neil: Oh yeah<\/p>\n

MattB: Of pointing so much, but I think one of the key things for him to do is once you’ve learn a few
\nof your things that start, don’t bite out more than you can chew it at once you know, that\u2019s the biggest
\nthing in their. Because I don’t think you’re gonna be…<\/p>\n

Neil: Playing the entertainer<\/p>\n

MattB: Yeah don’t choose maple leaf flag before you play something really, really simple<\/p>\n

Neil: Yeah great point earlier today we were talking about Barre and you said you know I remember
\nlearning at least the first part of it. You weren’t sure remembered the second part and I think a lot
\nof times people slow down things once they know they can do them and figured ok I’m get back to
\nit another time, but you work tired enough on the first part to pretty much master it. You maybe did
\non the second part at one point but even now even after we we’re talking you kind of work the way
\nthrough it by ear, co’z you know how you know, you know enough how it sounded and stuff so…<\/p>\n

MattB: Right<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
