Thumbs up this time I will prevail

I bought my current acoustic guitar (takamine) in 1976 and every year or so would drag it out and attempt to learn to play. Usually after an hour or so I threw it back in the case out of frustration. In 2006 I am determined to keep plugging away and finally practise and learn enough so to me playing it sounds good and my frustration levels don't rise.

Hi hihosilver

Welcome from a fellow Queenslander.

Nice to have you here... I notice in your profile you're a ex radio jock. Not that I listen to much radio, but which station were you on?

Good luck with your new years resolution. I didn't make any myself... I guess that's because by now I know I never keep 'em

Welcome.

Clancy

Welcome aboard,

Best of luck and don't give up.

  hihosilver

I worked in radio as a jock starting in Cairns at 4CA in 76 (like millions of other hopefuls) then worked at 3GL geelong, got into news journalism at 3CS colac, 3MP melbourne, 2KO newcastle , 2TM tamworth and 4TO Townsville, I had access to terrific, largely non commercial guitar music at a lot of these country stations which made me a huge fan but also a frustrated player especially after meeting musicians/singers who made playing look so easy. I got out of radio after 20 years and now work in Page Ranking which happily means no 3.30am starts. I am originally from geelong, still support the cats, but attended my last game in the 60's.

thanks for your welcome, I am delighted to be here and will be seeking your assistance/advice when i get hung up as i surely will
