How much guitar time can you actually say you get? I read the Repair Guide while I'm waiting for the kids to get done with school. (work from 2Am - around Noon) That's about 20-40 minutes added on top of actual practice of 20-60 minutes. This only represents a few days a week. Many times, I'm lucky if I get 5 minutes of guitar time and it frustrates me greatly.
I have to keep reminding myself that many if not most of our members are retired or don't have kids in the house, ect.., so I shouldn't feel like I'm not getting enough time. I'm only 41, so I actually have a "jump" on a lot of players : .
I wholeheartedly agree that the bgu forum is a great place with awesome people.This forum has helped me in my guitar playing in uncountable ways.from subtle to very obvious.Would just like to say thanks to all our members new and old.

And to those new to posting their lessons: Don't give up when you think you've ACED a lesson, just because someone says, "You'll do better next time", or anything else like that. Remember that you're gonna need a tough skin to play in front of other people, and this can be a beginning to your "thickening up". Remember, YOU are the one who needs to be happy with the way you play.

Great point Russ and great attitude too.
We had a discussion here a while back about if it's appropriate to critique or make improvement suggestions on the forum. I was in the camp that said "If you put it out there, you are requesting a critique". We should ALWAYS be positive, honest and up beat in our comments. They are/should only be intended to help. Never to cut down.
I hope that's how anything I've said is taken.

In my short time with BGU, I've only read positive comments. Even when I've asked for a little bashing.
I'm with ya on this Mike, I know I can come across as aloof or as a know-it-all, but nothing I've ever said is meant that way. I just enjoy trying to be helpful... 'trying' being the key work here. [smiley=beer.gif]
The next person plays the same lesson and it sounds like they just picked up a guitar yesterday, but they get reviews like they're a rock star
