Kindly Advice Me (POLL) - Kush

nagukush · #1 April 18th, 2006

Hi Family !!!

I hope everything's great with everyone

Sorry if my Question seems very foolish

, but as I'm in a situation where I have noone to actually hear me play and comment critically, I'm posting this poll.

I, As a Guitar-Player whos been with the Guitar, not knowing what is what for about 2 years (and because not knowing that there are resources on the Internet for learning too !

). and I'm learning Finger-Style for the last 4 months.

(Another fact about Me : I've started using my Pinky-Finger only about 6 months and all those days playing only with 3 fingers

)

Kindly tell me, after listening to my playing (recordings), How do you rate me ?

I'm really sorry if this seems a waste of time, but I really do want to know, where I stand

Kindest Regards
Kush

You're better than me mate!

Your playing is fantastic, for the length of time you've been playing... Great work Kush...!!!

Kasper · #4 April 18th, 2006

I'd already be happy if I got to be as good as you bro. Keep them good vibes a-jammin'

That is a hard poll to use Kush. You are very good for the amount of time you have been playing, The potential is there for you to develop into a really good player. Are you ready to do a gig yet, probably not.
Developing your own style of playing that says Kush played this is part of the skill set you want to aim for. Your a serious player so I am giving you a serious answer. You have the desire and the drive to get you where you want to go. After you have mastered Plane Talk, your playing and understanding of music will get you much further along. Basically the only thing between you and your goal is time.

Thankyou so much Ben ! For me, to get that sort of a comment from a Guitarist like you (whom I really respect a lot

) is purely an Honor. Thankyou so much for the encouragment, Pal.

Lots of Regards
Kush

Thankyou so much friends, for your time, and care. Your words and views really mean a lot to me.

Better player than I am. I am impressed with the material you have posted on the site.

I gave you 5/5 for the effort and dedication that you have put into your learning and playing. I have nothing but admiration for you Kush, since you really don't have anyone around you (geographically speaking) to jam with or give you positive direction and feedback.
So considering you've been up against this particular kind of obstacle, I think you've done remarkably well with the guitar. Also your love and passion for the instrument (guitar) is very contageous, and is good encouragement for us all to always try to improve on the guitar.
Therefore Kush, keep it up mate! Keep going and reaching out and you will reach your goal with the guitar, of that I'm certain. Even though you may get days where you don't feel you've made any progress, don't let it put you off, because everyone gets days like that, even the guitar professionals.

Good on ya Kush!

Regards
Neil

Hi Neil

I hope everythings is just great there !

I'm fine and practicing well

Thankyou so much for your kind words. You have really made me see more hope and your words have made me even more confident ! Thankyou so much for your Love and Care. Though I dont have anyone (physically) around me, but I guess instead I'm gifted by God to have such friends like you (which is the real wealth, anyone can have) . I really mean it from the bottom of my heart. Thanks for being by my side, Buddy !!!!

Lots of Love and Regards

your Pal
Kush

Hi Kush.

Had a listen to your Scarborough Fair and Dust in the Wind recordings (hope I was looking in the right area

). I thought they were very well done.

I could hear what I thought to be some pauses between some of the chords in Scarborough Fair but otherwise I thought it sounded great.

Keep up the good work mate!

PS: I'm just a 10 month guitar newbie so not sure how much my opinion counts for.

joe_strummer · #12 April 19th, 2006

Hi Kush, as someone like me who is learning something new everyday, i have to say you give it 200% effort in everything you play and it shows through, ive not been in the forum very long but have listened to all the tracks youve put up and the improvement is huge from the early songs you tried, and now big improvement on songs like scarborough fair etc, keep up the great work kush its working very well take care my friend you ll get there very soon

tpolitz · #13 April 19th, 2006

Very good Kush,
I enjoy and look forward to your post as well as your recordings.

737blues · #14 April 19th, 2006

Why the sudden doubts Kush? I'd say you're well on track and the posts you have put up are really good. Don't sweat it! just relax and enjoy it.

Rockerbob · #15 April 19th, 2006

OK, I'm one of the buttheads that gave you a 3, so I think I should explain. I feel you are doing extemely well for the time you have been playing. I rate myself at about 4.5, and I've been at it for more than 30 years. I reserve the top rating for those guitar monsters that blow me away. Tommy Emmanuel for one.

So keep up the good work!
