I'll post a sequel to this

I'll post a sequel to this on guitar practice in a different blog.

Nate, Thanks for the offer. I'm interested because I have some students I can bring in and do a recital/jam session or something. Open jams are also a great idea for drawing a crowd. You can check out my site for more info:

Shawn and Nate,

I own a coffee shop in Jordan called Awakenings, if you ever would like to play some acoustic guitar in that setting I would welcome it with enthusiasm. Pay isn't the best - free meal and beverages. The food is excellent though. We'll pay more if you can attract a crowd!

If interested call me at (507) 665-6244 ext. 208. Ask for Nate.

As a guitar player, I completely agree with your perspective in this blog, and would love to read more about the enjoyment of practice.
I think that's an important part of music that should be highlighted.
When you write that, could you include some tips on practicing? Maybe how to change your routine a bit to keep things fresh while training the hands?
The one thing I have heard around the guitar world with regards to Guitar Hero is that it is creating a grave interest in the instrument by getting youth, who may not have been previously involved, playing, which is good.
The bad part to that is it really isn't the same, so young players could get very frustrated when they hear the noises made as a new guitar player.

Acts like Van Halen should

Acts like Van Halen should simply admit that playing for a dark and dank club is where their future lies. After being through more lineup changes than "E.R.", it's time to give it up and accept your fate.

he was indeed alittle bit before my time, But I do remember seeing him at a wedding dance at the old Carver ballroom when I was a kid.....I think the six Fat Dutchman were playing there also one time. Frankie yankovich was um-pa-pa king....

Pat T,
Don't forget the Polka King from New Ulm,"Whoopee" John Wilfahrt. Or was he before your time?

How about Crow ''Evil Women"....The Litter (Emerge)Gypsy (in the garden) .....the Castaways.......Willie Murphy and the bumble Bees.......And why back there was a band called The Jades, they did a tune called blue black hair.....Lots of great music out of Minnesota

While Roxxi's Momma would prob'ly say my theme song should be "Tomorrow" from the musical Annie, only she'd likely change the lyrics to something like...tomorrow, tomorrow, he'll do it tomorrow, its only a day away...but I'd like to be able to set my theme song daily depending on my mood and desires of the day.

I think I'd like a rotating play list of songs. Some days it would be "Its Five O'clock Somewhere" others it might be, "Cheeseburger in Paradise" or "Centerfield"...put me in coach, I'm ready to play!landshark

But I guess if I had to pick just one song, I'd pick Billy Joel's song popularized by Garth Brooks "The River"...great lyrics...

Oh. Well, I'm not into punk

Oh. Well, I'm not into punk rock. I do have to read the questions a little more carefully, that's for sure.

Pat M, that is funny. That is like saying my theme song is "LIfe Sucks then You Die". I think the punk rock group The Butthole Surfers sang that song.

Yes, I guess it is. Seems I

Yes, I guess it is. Seems I didn't read the question very well ...

Actually, I think your parents owe you an apology for naming you Harry with the last name you have. The kids must have been cruel when you were growing up.
