A few months in

Having now been a member for 4/5 months I've got to say that after playing guitar for nearly 30 yrs bgu has changed everything. I cant believe how good this site is. It was obvious from the beginning how important Griff believes counting is, and guess what? To begin with i just couldn't do it. How do you play a lick and count at the same time, impossible i thought! Well i stuck with it and everything has changed and for the first time im comfortable putting a jam track on and playing over it and sounding half reasonable and in time! Without doubt the best resource for learning blues guitar anywhere. Cheers Griff

Hi Russell it's on 8th/9th November at The Bell Market Place, Driffield YO25 6AN Phone: 01377 256661. Most of us arrive on the Friday afternoon, I stay over on Sunday night and have a leisurely drive back on the Monday. This will be the fifth one that I've been to and thoroughly recommend it for a great weekend. . If you mention it's the blues weekend to "The Bell" when booking you get the discounted price. Chris Hurst [obsidianskies AT btopenworld.com] organises the event.

I guess it's a possibility we could travel up together. Send me a PM

Keep an eye out for next years event, Dorking isn't that far perhaps we should get together some time.

Great post Russell. Counting never clicked with me for some reason either and I KNEW it was a huge disadvantage to not be able to do it. Now it is like second nature thanks to BGU. That and FINALLY knowing every note on the fretboard has made a MONSTER difference for me.
