Introducing me
Hello to everyone who reads these posts!
My name is Dugal, I live in Brisbane and I've been playing for a year now. I've been trying to teach myself through listening, reading TABs, magazines, guides and etc. I love fingerpicking because I can directly feel the strings under my fingers. I like pics for making my music louder, but for me it always feels more...detached. As far as styles of music, I like acoustic blues and folk a lot, but really I like just about anything I can wrap my fingers around. All melodies are fun.
I just bough Kirk's book last night. It has already been worth the money and I'm only half way through! Ever since I heard about "tone, tone, semitone, tone, tone, tone, semitone", I knew there had to be a way of generalising all music on the guitar. This is what Kirk's book does. But it is distracting me from my university studies!
Every Monday I can't wait for Kirk's newest lesson . I really enjoy learning them and thinking about the chords. My favourites are the ones where the melody lines fit nicely into chord shapes.
Hopefully I get to know some of you in this Forum.
Dugal.

Hey Dugal. Welcome aboard and thanks for saying all those nice things. Make the 'PlaneTalk' mind-set a habit, and you'll never look back nor will ever get lost again, you'll see. Your fretboard will be as friendly and familiar as your own back yard.
I'll be returning to Tamborine Mountain in a couple of months ... I'll be glad to get home to my back yard.
