Play Guitar, now learn Guitar

[timryland]

Hi All,

I've been play Shadows music for around 5 or so years now, mainly from tab. I started playing instrumentals as I can't sing at all, I really wanted to play Blues, but love the Shadows stuff I can play.

Having recently found backing tracks for lots of my favorite blues songs WITH vocals has set me off on a new direction.

However, this time I want to do it properly. I' m learning pentatonic scales, moveable chords, the CAGED system.

It's like starting again, and at 58 has given me renewed interest in my playing. My wife even let me buy a PRS SE custom as a present.

Guitars...... Is there any better instrument.

Tim.

PS. I'm not giving up on Hank and the Shadows, just trying to add another string to my bow.

Hello.
I am the same i am 65 love the Shadows but i to want to learn scales and blues and be able to do Gilmour stuff etc. I can do bits but really need lessons as i find it hard to teach myself.In other words i need a kick up the backside. I have treated myself to the Burns 40th Anniversary and itis superb for Shadows stuff.

Tim,
It's the spice of life... Everyone should try their hand at different music - only way to get better at it.

Cheers, Julian

Only one question. How do you manage to get your wife to allow you to buy stuff (toys)?

Hi Bob,
Did you notice that Tim is only 58 so I don't really think we should be asking how he wins his wife around ;D ;D
