I learn guitar with justinguitar.com


I had given up trying to learn to play guitar. I could play a few chords but not play any songs. Then my friend Neil Gibson asked me if I could play guitar and could I teach him to play? I met Neil at Ace Drama; which is a drama group (in Oswestry) for people with learning difficulties, founded by former TV presenter Mavis Nicholson. Some of you may remember Mavis used to be on TV in the afternoon. Her TV programme was first called Good Afternoon. And afterwards became Afternoon Plus. She has interviewed the likes of actress Elizabeth Taylor, rock star David Bowie and comedian Kenneth Williams. Back to Neil: His father told me he was frustrated because no one was able to teach him to play his guitar. So I agreed to teach him. But first I had to teach myself. I would go to see Neil at his home and following week he to mine. We looked on the Internet to find someone who could teach guitar. Most of the guitar teachers went far too fast for us.

@nexgenhk It’s alright, please don’t worry about it. Just glad to hear you are OK. PS I went to see Justin at his album release gig, at Bush Hall Shepherds Bush London. He was concerned about me going there because I asked him about cheap hotel. So, he sent me link to posh hotel that I stayed in instead. He said cheap ones were dangerous…Anyway the Guest House in Acton was fabulous and had great time at Justin’s gig. Lots of friendly people there. Met lots of his friends too.

nexgenhk :

oops.. sorry about tat one.. I thought you posted a video showing your version of the song.. I mean you playing the cover.. Didn’t mean any offense.. I take it back..

stevalianarbone :

@nexgenhk sorry you have to go through life feeling so bad. I know i don’t play very well yet as i’m only a beginner, but at least Justin understands, and i’m always greatful for his kind support, and that he keeps in touch. As for comparing myself to him. Not sure where on earth you got that one from. I will never be able to play like him, nor do I aspire to. Take care hiope you feel better soon…

nexgenhk :
