I play guitar. Some of my friend try to pick it up and they get all excited trying to learn the hardest licks by the best guitarist. They dont take time to KNOW the guitar, to Know the neck. To me that's crucial when you are learning anything musical. Dont get carried away trying to be the best all at once, just enjoy making music! I am by no means anything close to mastering the guitar (or anything else for that matter), but I think the way we really learn is by knowing how to make music on your instrument. Not by being able to play all these different songs you like, but by being able to make up your own songs based on what you know about your instrument. i hope that makes sense haha. By the way, you may know my dad, Andy Davenport.

That is some good advise I have been practicing for the last 5 + years on scales and the different modes of the scales. Not to much with one particular song. I keep hearing work on the song and you can use those patterns in other songs. Well that is true but why not be able to play anything with drive and emotion in any key you happen to be in. This didn't come out the way I feel it but hopefully you will understand the meaning. I think that was excellent advise you gave. Can't wait to read some more.Gushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17736665786403668754noreply@blogger.com
