Can anybody recommend a good guitar teacher in Eureka or Arcata for a nearly 50 year old man who learned a few chords in high school and promptly forgot everything he learned?
Sally T. replied:
Eric, I learned guitar as a little kid (5 years old, as opposed to high school age) but it's always pretty much been "by ear" for me. My "desire" was that I wanted to play and sing songs I had heard on the radio. (back at that time, it was "Blowing in the Wind" by Dylan; "Where Have All The Flowers Gone", etc.) As I moved into my teens, it was Judy Collins, and Joni Mitchell. Around age 14, I started writing and singing my own songs, with Joni Mitchell affectations. I know a few years ago, we passed a surplus laptop to your kids... and the reason I'm asking about this music project, is that we have also been known to pass musical instruments, amplifiers, music lessons, etc... to kids and / or families needing stuff.
